SEE THE VIDEO ON ZACH BROWN

Zach Brown has done it all at Portland State when it comes to kicking. And he still has a year to go.

Brown, a senior from McNary High School in Keizer, OR, holds 10 kicking records at Portland State and has been duly honored. A consensus first team All-American in 2011, Brown has shown up on every preseason All-America list in 2012 and is an NFL kicking prospect.

Brown led the nation with 24 field goals last year and has produced the top three field goal totals in school history (18, 18, 24). In fact, he has almost twice as many field goals (60) as the number-two kicker in PSU history (Mike Erickson, 32). Down the road, Brown has a chance to break the Big Sky Conference record for career field goals (75, Dan Carpenter, Montana).

Brown has been so good, the big question is, how do you get better? "Just kick… every day," says Brown, who tunes out the game while standing on the sidelines to stay focused on each individual kicking opportunity. "I find my little games to play on the sideline to keep busy. Other than that it is hard to stay focused."
