Editing Reggie Roby (section)

==College career==
Roby attended the [[University of Iowa]], where he played for the [[Iowa Hawkeyes football|Hawkeyes]] from 1979 to 1982.  Despite the fact that he had experience at [[quarterback]] and possessed a strong arm, Hawkeyes head coach [[Hayden Fry]] made the 6'4", 250-pounder a punter and kick-off specialist, also using him for long range field goals.  Before Roby arrived, the Hawkeyes had not had a winning season in 20 years.  With Roby, the 1981 team earned its first [[Rose Bowl (game)|Rose Bowl]] invitation in 23 years on the strength of a 6–2 conference record (8–4 overall) and co-[[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] championship with [[Ohio State University|Ohio State]].  Roby set an [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] season record with a 49.8-yard average.  In 1982, he led the nation with a 48.1-yard average.  His career average of 45.4 yards ranks among [[college football]]'s best.

Reggie was also given the kick off duties and routinely kicked the ball through the uprights at Iowa, a total of 26 times. He was 28-34 for PAT's and was 11–27 in FG attempts, mostly from long range.
