Breaking News; Mark Stoops reveals secret kicking weapon Jacob Kauwe for Cats: “He’s going out there…..

Remember when Mark Stoops listed Jacob Kauwe as the No. 2 placekicker and kickoff specialist on Kentucky’s season-opening depth chart — quite the statement for a true freshman. T

he head coach used that opportunity to break the news the Billings, MT native drilled not one, not two, but three 60-yard bombs in practice during fall camp to earn the backup job.

He isn’t taking redshirt senior Alex Raynor‘s job, obviously, but it’s been known from day one Kauwe’s got quite the boot.

“You look at Kauwe behind (Raynor) and man, he has an extremely strong leg. We have a lot of confidence in Alex — I mean, I don’t know what the number will be. But I know Jacob has hit — we’ve tried to 60 [yards] three times, and he hit him all three times. With full units, offense against defense, so we have that as well.”
