41 Casey Skowron

[ANGCatFan]

Skowron is a 5-10, 160 redshirt Senior place kicker from Phoenix, AZ. Quick, who owns the Arizona record for the most consecutive PATs in a season? Yep, Casey Skowron with 57 in a row. The career record is 74 held by John Bonano. Skowron also hit 20 of 28 field goals (71.4%) and added a TD run to lead the conference in scoring and rank 16th nationally with 123 points. Not bad for a manager from the women's soccer team.

Last year Skowron experienced the highs and lows of college football. After missing a field goal that would have won the USC game, Skowron received the full wrath of the social media scum. Just over a month later, Skowron ran for a TD in the 2nd quarter and then hit two 4th quarter field goals including the winner with no time remaining to beat Washington.




Skowron is on the Wuerffel Trophy watch list for community service as well as athletic and academic excellence and also a nominee for AFCA Good Works team for classroom excellence and community service. He was also an honorable mention for the P12 All-Academic team while double majoring in psychology and computer science.

Last year we were unsure of what we would have for a kicker. This year we know. Skowron is a winner!

P.S. He is also really good at onside kicks.



41 is the Arizona record for the most punt returns in a season set by Jackie Wallace in 1971.

NO. 41

Veal to Hill Hail Mary pass highlights “The Streak” reaching 7 games vs. ASU

SCORE: Arizona Wildcats 28, Arizona State Sun Devils 18

DATE: Nov. 25, 1988

Javier's 41 trivia. My favorite:

— Arizona achieved its highest ranking nationally in total offense at No. 2 in 1941 with 357.3 yards a game. The Wildcats were No. 1 in passing offense, another highest finish, with 177.7 yards per game. They ranked No. 9 in scoring with 25.3 points a game. Hank Stanton was the top-ranked receiver in the nation with 50 catches for 820 yards.

Those numbers would put you at the bottom of the conference today.

Quick correction, the Wuerffel award is for exemplary community service and athletic performance.

Thanks. Fixed.

AZ Desert Storm: 41 days, and a 41-yard Jared Baker receiving touchdown

Plus a saving tackle on Utah's one big return.

Probably the most fearless kicker I've ever seen when it comes to chasing down returners.

He was pretty messed up after that. Was worried, then he came back to hit some solid kicks. Especially to send it into the next OT.
