Background

Ryan Bailey was completely unknown to even the most die hard Texas fans before his gamewinning kick against Nebraska in 2006. The former walk-on kicker earned a scholarship the following season. An excellent student, Ryan was a first team Academic All-Big 12 selection in 2007 and is also a five-time member of Texas’ Athletics Director’s Honor Roll.

During his junior season Ryan connected on a school record 5 of 6 field goal attempts against Central Florida and scored 17 total points in the game. He kicked a career-long 52 yarder against Rice that same season in his only career attempt over 50 yards.
