Alabama is getting one heck of a kicker in 2017.
Brandon Ruiz, the No. 2-ranked kicker from the recruiting class of 2017, posted a video of him hitting a field goal from beyond the 50-yard line with ease on Sunday night.
That’s over 70 yards. Seriously. Check out what you’re getting, Tide fans:
What To Expect This Season. 65 Yard Field Goals Easy?? #RollTide pic.twitter.com/rJmt9ajFQR

Now we know it’s consistent. In June, Ruiz nailed a 76-yard field goal — with some room to spare.
In case you were wondering, the college football record for the longest made field goal is 67, which is held by three different kickers. Could history be made once he arrives to campus?
Kicks like these would certainly be a welcomed feat (no pun intended) for Alabama.
