In the FCS Huddle: Top 10 FCS special teams players
Final of an eight-part series featuring the best Football Championship Subdivision players at various positions.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - You might think a place-kicker who often faces pressure-packed situations would do something in his leisure time that's a little less stressful than golf.
But while golf sometimes brings out the worst in people, it sure helps bring out the best in Matt Bevins' kicking results.
"Pretty much (in) golfing you honestly do not have to hit the ball as hard as you can to get it to go far," the Liberty University senior-to-be said. "If you hit it in the sweet spot of the ball on the perfect swinging plane, you're going to hit a great golf ball. And it's the same with kicking. If you take a nice, fluent swing, hit the sweet spot on your foot with the football, it's going to go just fine for you."
The proof is in Bevins' remarkable career. He's been The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America first-team kicker in each of the past two seasons and headlines the FCS Top 10 special teams list as he moves into his final season.

Let the record state, that in 2 of the 8 features by TSN they have featured a Liberty Flame as the headliner of the category. It probably should have been 3 but you get the feeling the nation wasn't ready for QB Mike Brown, PK Matt Bevins AND WR Chris Summers to be profiled as the best in FCS. Let the Big South Media Bias discussions begin.
