Austin Rehkow

In October 2019, Rehkow was selected by the Houston Roughnecks in the 2020 XFL Draft's open phase.

On January 1, 2018, Rehkow signed a reserve/future contract with the New York Giants as a punter. He was waived by the Giants on May 7, 2018.

In 2018, Rehkow joined the Salt Lake Stallions of the Alliance of American Football as a punter. The league ceased operations in April 2019.

Rehkow went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft, with the league's scouting combine profile concluding he lacked the leg strength to be a full-time placekicker (a somewhat ironic conclusion given his high school record; the combine based it on the fact that his longest field goal at the college level was only 50 yards) but had enough precision as a punter to have a future in the league.

On May 5, 2017, Rehkow signed with the Buffalo Bills, who had released their previous placekickers Jordan Gay and Dan Carpenter at the end of the 2016 season. He was waived on August 20, 2017, having lost the competition to Stephen Hauschka.

Rehkow was raised in Veradale, Washington and attended Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley, Washington. He also played soccer before switching to American football. In 2012, Rehkow set the record for the longest field goal ever kicked in the state of Washington, measuring 67 yards, just one shy of the national high school record set in 1986 by Dirk Borgognone. Kelly Imhoff made (62 yards) in 1929 and Larry Stovall-Moody (60 yards) in 1996 are the only 3 60 yards or more kicked in the state of Washington. It was one of three field goals of over 50 yards Rehkow kicked that year.

Austin Rehkow (born March 17, 1995) is an American football punter and placekicker for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL. He played college football for the Idaho Vandals football team at the University of Idaho.
