WATCH: BYU freshman Carter Smith nails $3 million field goal on ESPN College GameDay

BYU freshman kicker Carter Smith made headlines during ESPN College GameDay’s *Kicking is Easy* contest by nailing a field goal worth $3 million on his second attempt. The massive prize was boosted by contributions from Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith and his partner Ryan Sweeney, elevating the segment’s stakes to an unprecedented level.

Dressed as Spider-Man for the occasion, Smith’s clutch kick sent the BYU crowd into a frenzy, marking one of the most electrifying moments in the show’s history. The event also marked College GameDay’s return to LaVell Edwards Stadium for the first time since 2009, setting the stage for BYU’s high-profile matchup against second-ranked Notre Dame later that evening.

The Cougars, playing as underdogs, aim to prove themselves as national contenders in a game broadcast live on ABC at 7:30 p.m. ET.
