The nation’s best kicker at the FCS level entering 2012... has set a school record for field goals every season he has been a Viking with 18 as a freshman, tieing that with 18 as a sophomore, then 24 as a junior... easily the most talented kicker in Portland State history... has a big leg, capable of kicking well over 50-yard field goals... has six of PSU’s 11 all-time kicks of 50+ yards... holds the career record for field goals (60), nearly doubling the number two man (Mike Erickson, 32) and still has a season to play... holds 10 Portland State kicking records... a top NFL prospect... also serves as backup punter.

In his first season became perhaps the best kicker in the Big Sky Conference, setting a PSU record for field goals in a season (18)... was expected to be a backup kicker and wide receiver, but took over as starting kicker right away... had the best field goal kicking season in PSU history, making 18 of 25... three of his misses were from 52 yards or more... had a streak of nine straight field goals made and made 14 of his last 16, with the misses being from 52+ yards.... led the Big Sky Conference and ranked sixth in the nation with 1.64 field goals made per game... now has two of PSU’s seven 50+ yard field goals, making a 52-yarder against Southern Oregon (9/12) and a 50-yarder against Northern Colorado (10/10) in the snow... was a perfect 21-21 on extra points and averaged an excellent 65.5 yards per kickoff... was twice named Big Sky Conference Player of the Week after the wins over Southern Oregon and Northern Colorado... also caught two passes at wide receiver against Montana (9/19)... a redshirt in 2008.

Sidenote to PSU kicker Zach Brown...Had offers from both Oregon State and Boise State among others to kick but he wanted to go somewhere where he could be a receiver primarily. Glanville recruited him as a receiver and he was listed in his first game as such. After that game where the PSU kickers were 0-3 in field goals, including two misses from 30 yards out, the team had open tryouts for kicker. Brown won it and hasn't looked back.

This is his last season and I still don't know if he likes his chicken fried...
