CEE Sophomore Daniel Villasenor Wins $100,000 On ESPN'S College Game Day

On Saturday morning, Daniel Villasenor, a CEE sophomore, won $100,000 after successfully kicking a 33-yard field goal on ESPN's "College GameDay" in front of thousands of Cal fans on campus and millions of viewers at home. 
 
Although Villasenor missed his first kick, he surprised hosts Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit by making the 33-yard field goal on his second attempt while wearing Vans. As a result, he also contributed an additional $100,000 to ESPN's $500,000 donation for Hurricane Helene relief.
