The University of Arkansas isn’t the only school producing big-leg kickers. Just two weeks after Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little kicked an unofficial (preseason doesn’t count toward records) NFL record-long 70-yard field goal just an hour up the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers, University of Florida kicker Trey Smack showed Little that he’s got some competition for long kicks.
On Monday, just five days shy of when things count for real for the Florida Gators, Smack revealed that he has smacked one in practice almost as far.

#Gators kicker Trey Smack says his longest field goal in the indoor facility is 69 yards.

The longest official field goal in NFL history was 66 yards in 2021 by Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens.
The longest NCAA field goal in history was 69 yards in 1976 by Ove Johansson of Abilene Christian University.
Smack’s career long in a game was last season when he kicked a 55 yard field goal against No. 21 LSU.
So if Smack can continue to kick like he is in practice and nail a field goal of 70 yards or more, he will have the longest recorded kick in either the NCAA (and have a longer kick than any NFL player unless Little kicks one from 70+ sooner).
Over the course of his career, Smack has an 83.33 field goal percentage. He has made 35 of 42 attempted field goals and has only had one kick blocked in his 32 games played at the University of Florida. He was 17-for-21 in 2023 and in 2024 was 18-for-21, showing his ability to be very consistent and effective when his name is called to enter the game. He was named SEC Special Teams Player of the week for week 12 last season.
Along with being named to the 2025 SEC All-SEC Preseason second team, Smack was also recently named to the Lou Groza Award watchlist, which is an award given to the top kicker in college football. And as it stands right now, Smack will be making a strong case to hear his name called for that award at the end of the season.
The Senior from Severna Park, Md. will look to end his career as a Gator strong beginning on Saturday when the Gators take on LIU in the Swamp to open the 2025 college football season.
