The Sporting News listed his leg as the most feared in the Pac-10 3,000 miles from Seattle in Boca Raton, Fla. So far, the remote high school has and he’s on all of the lists of the top candidates for the Lou Groza Award, which been very kind to the Huskies. In 1999, kicker John Anderson arrived in Seattle he also won as a high school. Anderson’s resume began to build quickly in his and became a first-team freshman All-American, booting three field goals of 50 freshman season of 1999. He converted 13 of 18 field goals and 34 of 35 PATs or more yards in his first season and establishing himself as probably the best that year and led Washington in scoring with 73 points. Anderson began to Husky placekicker in a decade or more. Last season, tailback Rich Alexis first make his mark when he booted a 50-yard field goal against Oregon State. That gained noteriety by rushing for a 50-yard touchdown against hometown foe kick ended a 16-year stretch in which the Huskies had not recorded a 50-yard Miami on the seventh carry of his career. Alexis would eventually become the field goal. Anderson’s boot was the longest by a UW kicker since Jeff Jaeger starter and earned first-team freshman All-America after leading the Huskies converted a 52-yard field goal in 1983 vs. Oregon. Jaeger was also a freshman with 738 yards on 118 carries, an average of 6.3 yards per carry, as well as with that season. Since Jaeger’s kick, the Huskies had made 224 field goals over the nine TDs. This season, WR Charles Frederick will get his chance. Frederick comes previous 17 seasons without making one from at least 50 yards. Anderson was to Washington after earning prep first-team All-America status from several two years old when Jaeger made the last 50-yard field goal. Anderson went on sources and seems likely to get a shot at returning punts and kicks early in his to prove that long boot was no fluke. He ended the season with three 50-yard UW career. field goals to his credit, including a 56-yarder at UCLA to tie the UW school record. That field goal was the longest by a Pac-10 kicker in 1999.
