Auburn’s record-setting, ice-in-the-veins kicker
In the 2006 season, John Vaughn was Auburn’s reliable special-teams hammer: he finished his Tigers career with 50 field goals, 162 made extra points on 163 tries, and 312 points, making him one of the most productive kickers in school history[1][3]. His differentiator was consistency under pressure, plus a long-range leg highlighted by a career-long 55-yard field goal[4]. The one caution flag is that his legacy includes a very public rough patch in 2005, so the fit is best for a team wanting a kicker with proven upside, elite volume, and the mental toughness to bounce back[4][8].
