He very well could be. He most likely record wise will go down as the greatest.
But I think Chris Gardocki is the best kicker we ever had.
He did it all.
Field goals - had a huge leg.
Punting - I think I saw him kick won 90 yards in one home game. That did include the roll though and it was measured from the line of scrimmage so it was probably only credited for about 70 or so.
And his kick offs were always deep.
I think he had the best leg of any kicker we have had considering he did all 3 phases.

You might be wrong on that longest punt...

I'm thinking that I watched (long time ago)our punter, Mitch Tyner, launch a perfect spiral for 80 yards in the Valley. Anyone able to confirm this? Happy Thankgivakkah...My turkey is now in the infrared cooker!

Mitch Tyner's punt was vs Texas A&M in 1973

Banks McFadden had held the record for decades and he met Tyner on the field to present the ball to him.

He was a great punter, place kicker and kick off guy. Left after 3 years. Best I ever saw
He and Dale Hatcher could kick that ball.

1177 career punts in NFL. Never had one blocked.
As long as kicking theme is being kicked around. Y'all know Andy Lee the punter for the 49ers is from right down the road from clemson. I believe he is from Westminster.

best punters in the nation both grew up in SC and competed against each other throughout their life all the way to the NFL...Hatcher and Newsome. Remember?
