My friend played for the Nebraska soccer team and ended up walking on to be the kicker. He started for one or two years as well

There was actually a point where I thought about walking on at Alabama as a kicker (also played soccer my whole life) because our kickers were routinely missing 30 yard FGs. I was hitting 55+ pretty easily but the trajectory on the ball was way too low. All my kicks would’ve been blocked in a real game. Try practicing with a regulation sized soccer goal about 7 yards in front of you. It acts as a DLine. Blasting long FGs is easy, but blasting long FGs with proper elevation is pretty tough. But if you practice you can do it for sure
