A college student made the most of a second chance field goal attempt, by nailing a 33-yard kick to win a $100,000 prize and send $600,000 to Helene relief efforts.
ESPN's long-running pregame program 'College GameDay' was on the UC Berkeley campus on Saturday ahead of the Golden Bears game against eighth-ranked Miami. Each week, one lucky student is selected from the crowd that gathers to watch 'College GameDay.' The student gets the opportunity to kick a 33-yard field goal as part of 'Pat McAfee's Kicking Contest.' If the participant makes the kick, they win a cash prize.
Before Daniel lined up for the attempt, McAfee informed the college student that 'GameDay' was prepared to add $100,000 to its donation to Hurricane Helene relief efforts. The additional pledge brought the donation total to $600,000. While Daniel gained kicking experience during his time as a soccer player, he admitted Saturday was the first time he'd attempted to kick a football from such a distance. He also said he had arrived at the spot where the 'College GameDay' set was located around 11:40 p.m. on Friday night. Daniel's shoes were a hot topic. He wore a pair of faceless Vans during the field goal attempt.
Helene has caused an estimated $30 billion in damage across the southeastern U.S., according to analysis complied by California-based financial and consumer analytics company CoreLogic. The company also projects the financial impact to continue to increase. Helene made landfall in Florida on Sept. 26 as a category 4 hurricane.
