Place Kicker

1. Fuad Reveiz, 1981-1984

Now this is obviously taken with a grain of salt since Fuad Reveiz kicked off a tee while in college. However, he had an 11-year Pro Bowl NFL career to prove his value, and if you just go by numbers, Reveiz is easily Tennessee football’s greatest kicker of all time. He leads in total made field goals with 71, and he has the single-season record with 27 made in 1982.

In addition to his success when it comes to numbers, Reveiz set an SEC record that season with a 60-yard field goal. So he was consistent, reliable and elite. If not for a rocky freshman year in which he made only seven of 15 attempts, he would have the career record for field goal percentage as well. Simply put, he would clearly be Johnny Majors’ all-time starting place kicker.

2. Carlos Reveiz, 1984-1986

Technically, John Becksvoort was the best kicker outside of Fuad Reveiz, as he never missed an extra point, but Becksvoort only kicked for Majors in 1991 and half of 1992. His All-American campaign in 1993 came under Phillip Fulmer. As a result, he didn’t make the rotation. The backup kicker to Reveiz on Johnny Majors’ all-time team would be the younger brother of Reveiz.

Carlos Reveiz stepped in for his older brother in 1985. All he did was hit 24 of 28 field goals and all 30 extra points en route to an All-SEC season as the Vols won their first SEC Championship under Majors. A very rocky 1986 season drops Reveiz’s status a bit, but similar to Chris White, that 1985 season alone was enough for us to put him on Johnny Majors’ all-time depth chart.
