It was the biggest day of Abraham Montaño’s life.
The butterflies in the first-year Fresno State kicker’s stomach prevented him from getting much sleep. As he boarded the team bus, he listened to his pre-game playlist that includes some of his favorite reggaeton artists like Bad Bunny and Ozuna.
As he looked out the window, he gazed at Autzen Stadium, home of the No. 11 Oregon Ducks – one of the most iconic teams in college football. That college football cathedral was the site where Montaño would make his first college football start. He learned he was starting just a day before the game since starting kicker Cesar Silva suffered an injury in practice.
