BOULDER — True freshman Will Oliver was named Colorado’s starting place kicker after this morning’s practice, first-year Buffaloes coach Jon Embree announced.
Embree picked Oliver, from Harvard-Westlake High in Los Angeles, after Oliver converted 10 straight field goals in practice.
Oliver beat out sophomore Justin Castor, a graduate of Arvada West. Last year’s kicker, Aric Goodman, graduated. Goodman was 10 of 15 on field-goal attempts and was 32 of 33 on extra points.
