Hayden Epstein Biography

Hayden Epstein is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on November 16, 1980 in San Diego, California, United States. Epstein was enrolled at the University of Michigan from 1998. He played college football for the Michigan Wolverines’ football teams, as a punter and placekicker. Epstein was successful on 26 out of 42 field goals, and 85 of the 88 extra points attempts. Epstein averaged 39.9 yards per 167 punts at Michigan, 50 of which were within the 20 yard line. According to sources, he was a finalist twice for the Lou Groza Award and Ray Guy Awards at Michigan. However, the University of Michigan appears to have only recognized him as a Guy Award finalist in 2000 as a junior.

When Epstein’s field goal attempt for the 2001 Wolverines was blocked on September 8 with 9:11 remaining against Washington and run back for a touchdown, it gave the Huskies a lead that they would not relinquish on the way to a 23–18 game. Epstein made a 51-yard field goal against Iowa on October 27 to give Michigan a 6-point lead with 3:57 remaining. The 32–26 score held up. He posted a school record 57-yard field goal against Michigan State in the November 3, 2001 Michigan–Michigan State football rivalry game known as Clockgate. However, later in the game, Epstein’s short punt and two Michigan penalties, made way for Michigan State’s controversial game-winning drive. He made the game-winning 31-yard field goal against the Wisconsin on November 17, 2001 with 10 seconds left. Epstein set up the field goal when his punt bounced off of Badger Brett Bell and was recovered by Brandon Williams with 14 seconds left. In the game 3 of his 8 punts were downed inside the 20 yard line, including a 48-yarder that was downed on the 1-yard-line to set up Michigan’s first score. 3 of his 5 kickoffs were touchbacks and a fourth one into the end zone was just returned 15 yards. Epstein’s performance earned him Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week recognition and his 8 points (2 FGs and 2 PATs) gave him the team scoring lead with 69 points. He finished the season with 76 points (13–20 FGs and 37–37 PATs) and 71 punts for 2790 yards (39.3 average/17 inside 20). Epstein’s single-season punt yardage total was a school record that was surpassed the following season by Adam Finley. His 76 points just edged out B. J. Askew’s 72 points and Marquise Walker’s 68 points. Epstein earned All-Big Ten Conference second team honors as a placekicker from the coaches and honorable mention honors by both the coaches and media as a punter. He concluded his career by making 2 field goals in the January 26, 2002 Senior Bowl.

As a senior, Epstein led the 2001 Michigan Wolverines in scoring and was selected by conference coaches as a second-team selection on the All-Big Ten team as a placekicker. He tied a Michigan record with a 56-yard field goal in 1999 and broke it with a 57-yard field goal in 2001, both against Michigan State. He played for two Michigan teams that won Big Ten Conference championships.

Epstein’s 1998 Wolverines freshman season was his fifth year as a redshirt senior season for Jay Feely, Michigan placekicker. His only point was the September 19 PAT against Eastern Michigan. Epstein’s only 2-tackle performance in his 10 career tackles was against Minnesota in October’s battle for the Little Brown Jug. Epstein was the punting coach for the team’s final two games against Arkansas and Hawaii (in 1999 Florida Citrus Bowl). He landed 6 of his 9 punts within the 20 yard line, averaging 40.1 yards per punch. Michigan was named Big Ten Co-champions along with Ohio State, Wisconsin at the end of the season.

Epstein attended Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, California. He kicked a field goal of 58 yards in the 1997 California Interscholastic Federation championship game. He was rated by all-star selection and ratings committees as the top kicker in the 1998 national high school class.

In 2000, Epstein and Del Verne split kicking duties (sometimes in the same game). On September 16, 2000, Epstein missed a 24-yard field goal for the 2000 team with 3:24 remaining against to UCLA. Although Michigan got back within field goal range, John Navarre was intercepted on the 15-yard line and the team lost 23–20. In that game, Epstein, who totalled 400 punt yards on 9 attempts, had landed what would become his career high 5 punts inside UCLA’s 20-yard line and executed his first career 60-yard punt. On October 14, he executed a 67-yard punt that was downed inside the 20-yard line and became his career long against Indiana. On November 4, Epstein was thwarted on an attempt to tie the game at the end of regulation when a 57-yard field goal attempt went through the hands of his holder against Northwestern in a 54–51 loss after Northwestern scored a go-ahead touchdown with 20 seconds left. Earlier in the game, he had completed a 6-yard forward pass and a 52-yard field goal. On November 18 against Ohio State in the Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry game, Epstein scored 8 points (a 25-yard field goal and 5 PATs). He dropped 3 of his 6 punts inside the 20 yard line and posted a touchback when kicking off to Ohio State with 1:18 remaining to force them to attempt to drive from their own 20. He earned his second Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week recognition. Epstein finished the season with 50 points (8–14 FGs and 26–28 PATs) and 55 punts for 2224 yards (40.4 average/19 inside 20). He earned All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention honors by both the coaches and media as a punter and placekicker. Epstein was one of 10 finalists for the inaugural Ray Guy Award. Michigan finished the season as Big Ten Co-champions with Purdue and Northwestern.
