It took Cole Tracy just one season in Baton Rouge to become a hero to LSU fans, and the kicker will now get his shot to do the same in the NFL.

Tracy will try out with the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints during their mini-camps, Tracy told The Advocate on Sunday afternoon.

Tracy said he will try out with the Packers next weekend and then will try out with the Saints in New Orleans the following weekend.

Mini-camps tend to last three days, and players try out to earn a contract with the team as an undrafted free agent.



Only two placekickers were selected in the 2019 NFL draft, both in the fifth round: Utah's Matt Gay (No. 145 overall) and Oklahoma's Austin Seibert (No. 170).

Tracy made 29 of his 33 kicks for LSU and all 42 extra points he attempted. His longest field goal of the season was an LSU-record 54 yards. Tracy began his career at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, before joining LSU as a graduate transfer.

Tracy's efforts set a new LSU record for field goals made in a season.
