Washington's Sam Timmins, a senior who has improved his field goal percentage each of his first three years, isn’t afraid to get the dirty work done.

Heavily involved in the sport until the age of 12, Timmins grew up idolizing the New Zealand All Blacks national rugby team. His father, Brendon, was a professional rugby player as well.
