HS FOOT: Great leg but here's the kicker

There are issues about his eligibility, but just wait until you see Canyon's new kicker, Mohammad Roknipour, a new student from Iran.

"The kid can kick 65-yard field goals. He's unbelievable," Canyon coach Chris Varner said.

Unfortunately, Roknipour, who enrolled in January, has not been cleared because of a paperwork hassle. It's unclear whether he can move forward or will be forced to play JV football, Varner said. The coach said it's also unclear whether Roknipour is a junior or a senior.

"I guess we're listing him as a junior. All his transcripts are from Iran," Varner said.
