Southern Miss kicker Parker Shaunfield's post-field goal celebration catches Pat McAfee's eye
Parker Shaunfield has found a rhythm that works for him.
And the Aledo, Texas, native is getting noticed and gaining notoriety for it.
Southern Miss’ junior place kicker has made 12 consecutive field goal attempts and in last week’s win at Rice, Shaunfield established a new career-long with a 51-yarder at the end of the first half.
Following that kick, Shaunfield mimicked a golf swing before being congratulated by teammates. The moment was captured on video and the Golden Eagle posted it on his Twitter account with a message that read: “Smooth 9 iron shot from 51 #ForTheBrand.”

Shaunfield tagged former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee, who currently hosts a podcast for Barstool Sports and boasts more than 1.1 million followers on Twitter. The clip caught McAfee’s eye, as he responded Monday morning.
Shaunfield has made 14-of-16 field goal attempts and is 30 for 31 on extra points this season.
