Rafael Gaglianone is an American football placekicker who plays for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Gaglianone attended Baylor prep school in Chattanooga, Tennessee.[1] He received scholarship offers from North Carolina State University and the University of Wisconsin, choosing Wisconsin because, “[he] had been in the south for too long.”[2]

College career

During the 2014-15 season, Gaglianone went 19-for-22 on field goals and 59-for-61 on extra points. In 2015, Gaglianone was named to the Big Ten all-bowl team for kicking a 29-yard field goal with seven seconds left to send the game against Auburn into overtime, and kicking the game winning 25-yard field goal in the first overtime period.[3][4]

In July 2015 Gaglianone was listed on the Lou Groza Award preseason watchlist.[5] However his sophomore season was not as good as his breakout freshman season. In his sophomore season Gaglianone went going only 18-for-27 on field goals. He was able to make eight of eight kicks from within 30 yards, however, he missed three kicks in the 30s, 40s and 50s. He made game-winning field goals against Nebraska in October and USC in the Holiday Bowl.
