Bowling Green's Needham turning corner as elite college place-kicker

BOWLING GREEN — One of college football’s most trusted weapons didn’t find his footing until this season.

For Bowling Green State University place-kicker Nate Needham, it’s better late than never.

The senior converted just 62 percent of his field goal attempts in three seasons as a Falcon, including making 6 of 10 as a freshman and 5 of 9 as a sophomore.

A refined approach to his craft entering the 2021 season, however, has reversed any thought of his ability to be trusted on the special teams unit. He has been spotless in his final season.
