An all-conference selection throughout his career, handling kickoff, place-kicking and punting responsibilities. Succop entered his senior season in 2008 highly regarded by NFL scouts. Struggles with an abdominal strain from mid-October through early November resulted in the worst statistical year of his career. Succop had as many missed FGs in one game this season (four against Kentucky) as he had in any other season. After missing 6-of-9 attempts by midseason, Succop reverted back to his accurate ways, making 6-of-7 to close the regular season.

Positives: Versatile and is experienced as a place-kicker, punter and on kickoffs. ... Legitimate NFL leg strength. ... Has a career long field goal of 55 yards and improved his kickoff depth considerably as a senior. ... Accurate. ... Entered the 2008 season with a 94.1 accuracy rate on attempts of 39 yards and in. ... Mentally strong. ... Regained accuracy once he'd recovered from abdominal strain in '08. ... Rare size and athleticism for the position. ... Athletic enough to break down in space and make the tackle in the open field.
Negatives: May lack the speed from catch to kick to punt in the NFL. ... Was relieved of the punting duties in 2008 after having three punts blocked in 2007. ... Can drive the ball low for long field goal attempts but had three kicks blocked in his career. ... Very accurate within 40 yards over his career, but is only 3-of-7 from 50-plus.
