Van Winkle was actually pretty good. He has the 2nd highest Field Goal Percentage in UW history behind... Henry. It helps when you (Henry) rarely attempt 40+ yarders, which brings back bad memories (I know it was <40, but WTF Petersen).
Anyways, I hate watching lefty kickers. Please don’t make me do it for another 4 years.

This kid is right footed, I don't know why they made the graphic left footed. The walk-on kicker we took last year if left footed though

Ah, shows how much attention I pay to kickers, but I’m glad he’s a righty.

Not sure where you're getting your stats. Both VW and Coons had higher percentages than Henry has. I'm sure there's more if I cared to continue looking it up.
But yeah, sounds like we're in agreement. Henry sucks and needs to be drowned in Union Bay (mods?).
Folk and Coons were solid. But yeah last good one was Anderson.
Many hated Van Winkle but he was one of the most accurate kickers in Husky History. Henry was good last year too. Folk hit clutch ones but had some truly awful kicks. Coons was pretty good. College kickers in general are often kind of shitty.
a money kicker is well worth a scholarship IMO. I would love to have John Anderson again
Coons' career trajectory was very Henryesque if this year didn't happen. I remember hating him so much his first season. Was shocked at how nails he was in his second season. Henry had a huge turnaround 2018 to 2019 (a little from limiting his range, but there was also definite improvement in his confidence as well). He's definitely back inside his head again this year, so that's unfortunate.
Vizcaino is on a practice squad. He was bad and his accuracy sucked, but he had e biggest leg out of our kickers the past 10 years. He easily hit a 57 yarder in preseason.
