SHARE Matt Willams: Officially the Texas Tech kicker

The other day we introduced you to Matt Williams, the Texas Tech student who won a field-goal kicking contest during a timeout of the Red Raiders game against UMass earlier this year. In the tradition of all those movies we loved as kids, he is now the Texas Tech kicker.

Dreams can come true, kids.

Mr. Williams’ right leg is getting quite a workout against the Kansas Jayhawks this afternoon. He’s connected on all six of his PATs as Texas Tech is de-feathering Kansas, 42-14.
