April Goss: Kent State Football Likely to Have First Woman in FBS
Kent State's Kicker April Goss is likely to be first woman to play in FBS, after coach "promises" that she'll get out there.
A former high school soccer player named April Goss is the one who will break the barrier this year according to Haynes. Goss has been a walk-on kicker for the Golden Flashes since her freshman year, but she has yet to see actual game time.
"Before this year's out, she'll get out there. I promise you that," Haynes said Saturday after losing to Illinois 52-3, according to the Associated Press.
Goss has been waiting for a chance to make history, and it seems like it will happen this year.
"That's something that I've been hoping for a while now," Goss said, via Associated Press. "It's all about being patient."
Goss has experience in practice and even kicked a game-winning field goal in their 2014 Spring Game, but she hasn't gotten close to getting on the field during an official game. Goss is the only woman currently on a Division I roster, according to the Associated Press. Goss has put in the work, and has shown that she deserves a shot to make history.
"She works her tail off. She's the first one out there in practice and the last one off the field," Haynes said, via Associated Press. "Every time someone gets up and talks, one of our players gets up and talks, they always talk about they've got brothers, and a sister."

Utah State...who, if I’m not mistaken, faced New Mexico States first bowl appearance since 1961 a couple of years ago and let them leave with a W. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for lightning to strike twice.
