Former Australian professional soccer player signs with Buffs as a kicker
Mike MacIntyre announced Tuesday that the Buffaloes have signed placekicker James Stefanou out of Australia to a National Letter of Intent.

Stefanou, a 6-1, 187-pound native of Melbourne, Australia, will have five years to complete his four seasons of eligibility with the Buffaloes beginning in the fall of 2017.

"James has a big leg," MacIntyre said. "We are excited about having him, he is an excellent kicker and he will have a great career here at the University of Colorado."

Stefanou has trained periodically over the course of the past six seasons at ProKick Australia, an academy developed to assist in the transition to American football by providing the fundamentals of punting and kicking. Alumni of the academy include the last four Ray Guy Award Winners; Tom Hornsey of Memphis in 2013, Tom Hackett of Utah in 2014 and 2015 and Mitch Wishnowsky of Utah in 2016.

Based on the twitter follow, it looks like Matt Thompson (QC for Special Teams) found him.

I could give a **** how old he is if he can make fgs. That bs shouldn't matter. Hell, he was a professional so I'm guessing conduct shouldn't be an issue.
 
So I assume he's on a scholly? How come we never recruited one during the normal signing period?
 
Sweet, sounds like we did our due diligence based on who I'd been hearing about several weeks back (this sounds far better, FWIW). Don't care about age so long as he puts it between the goalposts.
