Davy "Point Man" Cappelen was the starting place kicker and leading scorer at Florida State from 1976-79. The four-year letterman was a team leader who made kicking accomplishments seem effortless. Cappelen broke FSU's career scoring record against Florida his junior year. As a senior, he scored 70 points, converting 14 of 22 field goals and 28 of 29 extra points. In 1979 against South Carolina, Cappelen connected on 4 of 4 field goal attempts, which included a kick of 51 yards. His four-year scoring total of 250 points is now third on FSU's all-time list. Cappelen was named to the All-Independent Team in both his junior and senior years. Cappelen signed with the St. Louis Cardinals and later with the New Orleans Saints, but injuries cut short his kicking career. Cappelen began teaching and coaching at the high school level with the same commitment he did as a player and is achieving the same kind of success.
