The Kildare man, who grew up playing Gaelic football, has established himself as one of Maryland's leading kickers since moving to the United States.
Kildare native Sean O'Haire was the hero for the University of Maryland on Saturday night, kicking a last-minute field goal to secure a dramatic 24-21 victory over Wisconsin.
With the scores level at 21-21 and just 29 seconds remaining, O'Haire held his nerve to convert from 30 yards and give Maryland a crucial victory.
The Kildare man, who grew up playing Gaelic football, has established himself as one of Maryland's leading kickers since moving to the United States.
He earned First Team All-Big Ten honours in 2025 and was named on the watchlist for the 2026 Lou Groza Award, which recognises the best kicker in American college football.
Saturday's winning kick marks another memorable moment in the young Irishman's American football career and shows the growing amount of Irish blood in one of America's biggest sports.
