‘It’s that elite:’ Inside the rise of Dominic Zvada, ASU’s nearly-perfect freshman kicking sensation

JONESBORO -- As Arkansas State special teams coordinator Jake Schoonover best put it earlier this week, placekicker Dominic Zvada has a humble confidence.

The true freshman also has some swagger.

So when the Red Wolves had an opportunity to get in range for a would-be game-winning field goal two weeks ago at Southern Mississippi, Schoonover had a request for Zvada.

"I said, 'Dom, tell me what yard line you need,'" Schoonover recalled. "He goes, '45.' "

Add in 10 yards for the end zone and seven yards for the snap, and that would have been a 62-yard attempt.
