Cal student makes field goal on 'College GameDay,' to fund $600k donation towards Hurricane Helene relief

A college student made the most of a second chance field goal attempt, by nailing a 33-yard kick to win a $100,000 prize and send $600,000 to Helene relief efforts.

But this week's contestant featured a unique set of circumstances. A Cal student named Daniel needed to knock a kick through the uprights to take home $75,000, but he pushed the ball too far to the right. He was then given another chance, but this time $100,000 were on the line. Chantz Martin is a sports writer for Fox News Digital.

Before Daniel lined up for the attempt, McAfee informed the college student that "GameDay" was prepared to add $100,000 to its donation to Hurricane Helene relief efforts. The additional pledge brought the donation total to $600,000.
