Iowa freshman Nichol boosts Hawkeyes with kicking
Tom Nichol, a 190 pound freshman from Green Bay, has become Iowa’s full time place kicker after Len Olejniczak’s injury. Nichol grew up watching the Packers and practiced on their field, booting a 54 yard effort in high school and delivering crucial kicks for a 20-7 win over UCLA. Coach Hayden Fry praises his soccer style and altitude, noting Reggie Roby’s knee soreness led to Nichol’s promotion and Tommy’s strong wind performance on a 40 yarder last week.
