Place kicker 

1. Brent Cimaglia; Senior

There’s no debate here. Brent Cimaglia was en route to an All-American campaign last year and certainly earned All-SEC honors, making 23 of 27 field goals. He is still perfect on extra points for his entire career, and two of his misses came on bad snaps while another one was a difficult kick from the corner into the wind. Simply put, there’s no reason to bet against him.

With a couple of major exceptions, both on bad snaps, Cimaglia was automatic inside 40, which you need from your place kicker. He was also great from beyond 40, hitting 9-of-11 kicks, and he hit both of his attempts from 50 yards or more out, including a 53-yarder, the longest make kick since Jeff Hall in 1995. The Vols are in good hands with this 6’0″ 210-pound Nashville product.

2. Toby Wilson; Sophomore

Marshall Ware, Toby Wilson and Luke Lynn are all sophomores who could be in line to back up Brent Cimaglia for Tennessee football. They each walked onto the program and did not see any action as true freshmen. Ware, who stands at 5’10” 175 pounds, comes from Germantown, Tenn., a suburb of Memphis. Lynn, who stands at 5’9″ 165 pounds, comes from Knoxville.

Wilson, on the other hand, stands at 5’10” 174 pounds and comes from Brentwood, Tenn., and we have him slated as the guy to back up Cimaglia. This is because Wilson has a high school track record we can refer to. He made every field goal attempt one season then, and he was a standout prospect throughout his high school days. That is why, for now, we give him the nod.
