Wisconsin's Kicker Breaks School Record

On Saturday, October 29th, 2022, Wisconsin kicker Nathanial Vakos broke the school record for the longest field goal made in a game.

Vakos's 50-yard field goal came in the second quarter of Wisconsin's game against Penn State.

The kick gave Wisconsin a 10-7 lead and helped the Badgers go on to win the game 38-31.

Vakos is a redshirt junior from Grafton, Wisconsin.

He has been Wisconsin's starting kicker since the beginning of the 2021 season.

In his career at Wisconsin, Vakos has made 46 of 60 field goals (76.7%) and 137 of 138 extra points (99.3%).

Vakos and the Badgers will be back in action on Saturday, November 5th, when they travel to Iowa City to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes.
