UGA student misses $400K GameDay kick — but hits off-air attempt for $100K

But GameDay host Pat McAfee let him redeem himself during a commercial break.

Guymon, a psychology major at UGA, was selected as the participant for the weekly kicking contest on ESPN’s traveling show. After additional financial commitments from McAfee and guest artist Jelly Roll his kick attempt would’ve earned him $400,000.

The student notably removed his shoes for the attempt. His on-air attempt had the distance but missed the uprights to the left.

According to College GameDay’s social media, McAfee offered Guymon a redemption kick worth $100K, which he made, during the commercial break.

Former UGA kicker Rodrigo Blankenship was a surprise guest brought out to kick the charity portion of the contest after Jelly Roll’s attempt missed wide left. Blankenship’s field goal, which he made easily, was worth $600,000 after host contributions. The money will be donated to an Athens-area charity, according to the show.
