BYU freshman Carter Smith became the star of ESPN College GameDay in Provo, Utah, after making a field goal worth $3 million, according to a October 17 report.
Smith, dressed as Spider-Man, successfully connected on his second kick attempt after missing his first attempt during Pat McAfee's "Kicking is Easy" contest.
The prize for the popular pregame segment reached the $3 million level due to pledges from Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith and his business partner, Ryan Sweeney.
The successful kick caused a frenzy among the crowd on the BYU campus.
College GameDay returned to BYU for the first time since 2009. The program was in town ahead of a matchup between eighth-ranked BYU and second-ranked Notre Dame at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
BYU is scheduled to host Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The Cougars enter the game as an underdog.
The matchup between the Cougars and Notre Dame is considered one of the biggest games in the history of LaVell Edwards Stadium.
