clutch Minnesota kicker with proven game-winning touch
Eric Ellestad is a former Minnesota Golden Gophers kicker known for his poise in high-pressure moments, most notably drilling the overtime game-winner against Syracuse in 2009; he also led Minnesota in kick scoring in 2010 with 31 points. He stands out for reliability in tight games and late-game composure rather than eye-popping volume, which makes him the kind of specialist coaches trust when every snap matters.
