What is the Longest Field Goal in College Football Ever? The longest field goal made in college football history, which is also the longest field goal made in organized football, was 69 yards long.
The kick was made by Abilene Christian University’s kicker, Ove Johansson, on October 16, 1976, during the first half of ACU’s homecoming game against East Texas State University.
Curiously, the previous record belonged to Texas A&M kicker Tony Franklin, who only a few hours earlier, on the same date of October 16, 1976, had made a 65-yard kick against Baylor University.
