It's not often a kicker draws rave reviews in a football game.

But West Linn (Oregon) five-star kicker and Oregon Ducks pledge Gage Hurych isn't your typical special teamer.

During No. 1 West Linn's 37-0 victory over Nelson, Hurych had a perfect night in all phases.

>>> West Linn shuts out Nelson: 5 takeaways

He went 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra point attempts, he booted all eight kickoffs into the endzones for touchbacks and had his only punt of the day downed inside the 5-yard line. 

Hurych is locked in on his commitment to Oregon and will be in attendance during Saturday's season-opening game against Portland State.
