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.

I'm pretty sure if someone shows up at the LSU Football office and can kick a football into the end zone, with decent hang time, they will be suiting up for the Tigers sooner rather than later.
