No lie, this Japanese kid taught himself how to kick field goals by watching YouTube videos, and he now kicks for Hawaii where he nailed the game-winner over the weekend.
Kid finished three for three on the day!
Kansei Matsuzama visited the U.S. at an unknown date (sometime before 2020) and witnessed his first NFL football game. Mesmerized, he decided that he needed to learn how to kick fields goals, and also that he needed to move to the United States to play football.
He is a converted soccer player, so at one point he convinced Hocking College (Ohio) to let him kick field goals for them. He would not disappoint, going 12/16 (including a 50-yarder) and making all 32 extra-point tries. This earned him a transfer to Hawaii -- much closer to home -- where he kicked the game-winner on Saturday.
