ALL-TIME BOBCATS: Jason Cunningham

Jason Cunningham remains the most productive, if not most famous, kicker in MSU history
JUNE 8: Each day until Montana State's 2019 season opener the staff of Bobcats By The Numbers will offer a look at one of the players to make one of the school's all-time teams, in alphabetical order. On November 21, 1933, The Exponent announced 37 players selected by a panel of former players and coaches, divided into three teams that comprised Montana State's "mythical" all-time team. In 1969, the Billings Gazette's Norm Clarke conducted a poll to select the school's all-time team, and again in 2000 Bobcat Athletics and the Billings Gazette selected a third all-time team. The BBTN staff added players from the 21st century.
Jason Cunningham, K, 2008-11
ALL-TIME TEAM: 21st Century Addition
HONORS: 1st Team All-America and All-Big Sky 2010, 2nd Team All-Big Sky 2008/11.
A CLOSER LOOK: Taking away the fact that Jan Stenerud revolutionized the craft of kicking footballs, Jason Cunningham is almost unquestionably the best kicker Montana State has produced. The Amarillo, Texas product who Rob Ash signed on the recommendation of one of his coaching contacts holds the school record for field goals in a career, field goals in a season (he broke his own record), field goals in a game, and most consecutive field goals. His .750 career field goal percentage rate is higher than any other four-year player in school history. He made two of the five longest field goals in Bobcat history to boost MSU to a win at Eastern Washington in 2011. He presented about as much quirkiness as most kickers, but was an excellent student who has gone onto a career as an engineer. And he remains the most brilliant kicker in Montana State history – at least in the domestic category.
