FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Falcons signed place kicker Kevin Lovell Thursday evening to join veteran Jason Elam heading into the 2008 season.
Lovell signed with the St. Louis Rams after a career at the University of Cinicnnati, but was released in the team's first round of roster cuts last August 31. He was signed on May 7, 2007.
Lovell set school records for consecutive extra points by converting 79 in a row and finished with 73 points to lead the Bearcats in 2006. He hit two field goals in the preseason last year before being released. He split the uprights on 16 of 21 field goal attempts and all 25 extra point attempts. Lovell did not play football until his senior year in high school at Mira Costa High, but earned first team all-state, all-area and all region honors.
