Bowling Green kicker Jake Suder was having such a good day at practice recently, his coach offered him a full scholarship for the rest of his college career if he could make a 53-yard field goal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

No pressure!

According to ESPN, coach Mike Jinks put him on the spot, a spur of the moment offer - and Suder delivered.

His teammates went wild with celebration after the junior hit the field goal.

Suder played for Bowling Green last season on a one-year scholarship, but went into this season without one, ESPN reports. He made 9-of-12 field goals and 35-of-38 extra points last year, according to the sports publication.
