Another Cool Move by Clemson Kicker

Clemson kicker Nolan Hauser continues to give back to the school that helped propel him to where he is today.

In another cool move by Hauser, he again gifted brand-new cleats to the senior class of football players at his high school alma mater, William Amos Hough High School, ahead of the 2026 season.

It marks a continuation of the specialist’s philanthropic efforts, as Hauser did the same thing in 2025, purchasing new cleats for the entire senior class of his alma mater’s football squad.

A Clemson legacy as the son of two Clemson graduates and former Clemson student-athletes (Sheri and Scott Hauser), Nolan signed with Clemson in 2024 as the national high school record-holder for career field goals.

Nolan made one of the biggest kicks in Clemson history when he hit an ACC Championship Game-record 56-yard game-winning field goal as time expired to give the Tigers the 2024 ACC crown over SMU. He scored 113 points that season, a Clemson true freshman record, while starting all 14 games.

Last season, he converted 17-of-21 field goals (81 percent) and all 38 of his extra points while starting all 13 games. The junior enters the 2026 season with a 35-of-45 mark on field goals (77.8 percent) and a 97-of-98 mark on PATs in his 27 career games.

Hauser is a preseason second-team All-ACC selection by Athlon Sports and was named to the watch list for the Lou Groza Award, presented annually to the nation’s most outstanding kicker.
