Arizona only used him on long field goals. The kid has a monster leg!! (I'm not sure what they mean by 'long field goals', though is the over 45? over 50?)
"When Wildcats freshman kicker Lucas Havrisik trotted onto the field to attempt a 57-yard field goal against Washington State, there was little doubt he’d have the distance.
In practice six days earlier, on a dare, Havrisik had made a 70-yarder. The NCAA record is 67 yards.
“Sunday nights, he comes out and puts on a show,” UA special teams coach Brian Knorr said. “When he hits that ball, it’s a different sound.”
Havrisik made the 57-yarder, on the final play of the first half, tying the Arizona record and giving the Wildcats a 23-14 lead. It was the first field goal of Havrisik’s college career, which is off to a promising start.
Havrisik is the backup on field goals to Josh Pollack, subbing for him on long-distance kicks. Havrisik handles kickoffs, where he has emerged as an underrated asset ... Havrisik’s touchback percentage of 72.1 ranks among the nation’s best." [

And this, from his high school days:
Lucas Havrisik, Class of 2017 kicker (Riverside Poly HS) from Riverside, CA absolutely dominated the Kicking World Orange County, CA field goal competition held at Yorba Linda HS on March 7, 2015. As a HS sophomore, he made 10 consecutive field goals back to 65 yards (30L, 30R, 35L, 35R, 40M, 45M, 50, 55, 60, 65) winning the Golden Boot award (best placekicker at camp) in a field of 35 High School kickers & punters from around Southern California.
Lucas’s 65 yard field goal earned him a spot atop the Kicking World record books as the new all-time longest field goal in competition (65 yards) record holder. [
