Is there a former soccer player at LSU who should be the kickoff specialist?

If the girls soccer team goalie has a strong enough leg to get a look from the LSU Football team, I know there are dozens of Male LSU Students who can kick the ball into the end zone on a kickoff.
IF YOU ARE A SOCCER PLAYER THAT CAN KICK THE CRAP OUT OF A BALL, PLEASE GO KNOCK ON COACH MCGAUGHEY'S DOOR AND ASK FOR A TRYOUT.
IF YOU KNOW A SOCCER PLAYER THAT CAN KICK THE CRAP OUT OF A BALL WHO CHOSE DRINKING AT LSU OVER COLLEGE SOCCER, GET HIM OFF OF HIS BUTT AND DOWN TO COACH MCGAUGHEY'S OFFICE.
And if nobody fitting this description shows up, McGaughey needs to go find one. Call the Jesuit Soccer coach. Call the Catholic High Soccer coach. Ask them about their former players. Call the Newman Soccer coach and ask him who this kid is and if he is at LSU right now:

This problem has an easy solution, it just requires someone who played Futbol.

It's incredibly frustrating that our kickoff and punt coverage has been so spotty so far this season.
Our Defense is an absolute monster and we're not going to be able to take full advantage of it without a better kicking game.
As good as we've been overall improvement in this area is going to have to happen if we're going to win another National Title.

I am a former all state soccer player but it doesnt translate as well as you think. I could kick a soccer ball 70+ yards and a football farther than most but the follow through, foot placement, walk up are all different.
it would take a year or two of practice to be consistent enough to kick for LSU
My little brother is a very good high school kicker but an average soccer player. Soccer players have an advantage when they become kickers but its not an immediate thing

Athens HS in Texas graduated a kid who routinely kicked kickoffs through the opposing uprights. He had only one missed FG in 2 years and it was due to a very steep angle (7 yrd line on hash). He is currently at Texas College in Tyler and could tranfer if enticed. He is not playing ball now.
Why LSU does not have a top rated kicker every year baffles me.

Honestly, my younger brother was an all state soccer player in hs and played LB and kicked off for the football team. He is starting to practice kicking this week and if he does well he told me he will try out. I will be surprised if he actually makes it, but I know in hs he could kick it to the goal line and sometimes 2-3 yards into the endzone.
ETA: He is a junior now, 6'0" 200lb, and is stronger than he was in hs, but I know there is no way he is in good cardio shape. But as a kicker I am not sure how great of cardio shape you need to be in anyway.
ETA2: Wow, just read the entire thread and it looks like I just copied someone elses post and reposted. But my brother is seriously starting to practice this week.
