Best kicker in Ole Miss History!

Gary Wunderlich had an amazing season last year, the nail in the coffin for an important win against Texas A&M as pictured above, and the best FG percentage in Ole Miss history.

Currently, the record holder is Jonathan Nichols with a career total of 63. Wunderlich is sitting at third with only 47 career FGs. If you take the average of Wunderlich’s FGs the past two seasons, he is at 20.5 a season.

My prediction, I believe the golden leg of Wunderlich will put 22 through the up rights this year. Putting his grand total at 69 total career made field goals. Again, this record shouldn’t be touched for decades.
