Gotta like this one -- the kid led all kickers nationally with 133 points this season as a true freshman at UNLV!

Chittenden made 26 of 33 field goals as a true freshman this season, which was the second-most made field goals nationally. He had a long of 52 yards, though he was just 1 of 4 on field goals of 50-plus yards, but he was consistent otherwise while making 86.2 percent of his kicks inside of 50 yards and 55 of 56 extra point attempts. He also had 58 touchbacks on 87 kickoff attempts.

Chittenden, who is from Las Vegas, was named first-team All-Mountain West and the Mountain West Freshman of the Year. He was the highest-scoring placekicker in college football with 133 points, which was sixth nationally among players at all positions.
