 Happy Feller was Texas’s All‑American kicker who played for the Horns from 1968–1970. He is  famous for record‑setting long field goals and for kicking the winning PAT in the 1969 “Game of the Century.”

Against O.U., he set a then-school record with a 53-yard field goal, followed by a 55-yarder against UCLA in 1970, and a SWC record of 55 PATs. 

In 2014, Feller was inducted into the University of Texas Athletics Hall of Honor, cementing his place among the program’s greats. He later became a very successful business owner in Austin.
