Russell Erxleben (born January 13, 1957) is an American former professional football player and currency investor. He shares the record for the longest successful field goal in NCAA history at 67 yards (with tee), which he set in 1977 while playing for the University of Texas. Erxleben was a three-time All-American punter (1976, 1977, and 1978). He was selected in the first round of the NFL draft, an extremely rare occurrence for a kicker. After an NFL career lasting six years, he became a currency investor. Convicted of securities fraud in 1999, he was released from federal prison in 2005. He was again convicted of investment fraud in 2014 and sentenced to 90 months (7+1⁄2 years) in federal prison.[2][3]
