Bhaghani’s consistency in making 14 of 17 field-goal attempts this season has done more than put the sophomore in the conversation to join Norm Johnson, John Lee, Chris Sailer, Justin Medlock and Ka’imi Fairbairn as one of the Bruins’ all-time great kickers; it has also earned him the nickname “Money Bhags” from special teams coordinator Kodi Whitfield.

He unranked as a prospect early in the recruiting cycle by 247Sports.com, but is considered the No. 4 kicker in his class by Chris Sailer Kicking.

“In soccer you’re always trained to keep the ball low. Especially when you’re shooting,” Sailer said.

“Having a great kicker is an absolute weapon,” said Chris Sailer, who runs Burbank-based Chris Sailer Kicking, one of the largest and most successful kicking schools in the country.

“Growing up as soccer players you’re developing that leg strength and that motion over years. It’s a very natural transition,” said Sailer, 47, the son of German immigrants who played both soccer and football at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame High and had a short professional career spent mostly in arena football.
