Best Kickers - NIU007 - 06-28-2016 02:01 PM
So I'm bored with not much happening until football starts up again. I was thinking about the good kickers we've had in the past, but I don't remember them all. The best ones I remember are Azar, Nendick, and Ivanic (without looking at the statistics). I don't go back any farther than that so I don't know about earlier kickers. Salerno seemed pretty good too. Hagan has a chance to be very good IMO. Sims had some big kicks but tailed off too much his senior year.

Isn't one of our posters a former Huskie kicker?

The only one I know of is a former punter.

Over the last 15 yrs, all of our place kickers have been great, until they get to be Seniors. Then they have a down year. No worries this year though, Hagan's a Jr.

Seems like people aren't a huge fan of Nendick, but technically he was the best pro kicking prospect to come out of NIU. He had an offer from the Redskins I believe but tore is quad and was out for some time. Pretty awful timing for him. However he still is big in coaching and training a lot of high level kick prospects in high school to this day. Just wish our coaches would use him more with all the relationships he has w kicking prospects

Him and Azar are the two best I've seen for NIU.

Ivanic doesn't post, but MileHighHuskie is a former kicker.
RE: Best Kickers - huskiebob - 06-30-2016 12:08 PM
IMO, the top 3 kickers were:
Ivanic
Scott
Azar

His kick in Detroit wasn't too shabby, either.
RE: Best Kickers - BDB5yp - 06-30-2016 02:14 PM
Now, if only we could find a consistently good punter.

Dobay, Jamie Dobay.
Best Kickers - bigredmachine - 06-30-2016 03:16 PM
Tom Wittum was our best. Jim Hannula was very good punter.
RE: Best Kickers - MajorHoople - 07-01-2016 10:41 AM
Wittum. Punted and placekicked (in addition to being an outstanding Baseball player).
Played five seasons with 49ers, made two Pro Bowls.
