Younghoe Koo was born in Seoul Korea on August 3, 1994, to Seungmae Choi and Hyunseo Koo. He played soccer growing up and won a regional kicking competition. He attended sixth grade in the United States after moving to New Jersey to live with his mother, who had gone to the country two years earlier to become a nurse while Koo’s father remained in Seoul as a university professor.
He began his professional career with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017 but was released four weeks into the season after missing consecutive game-ending kicks. Following a year away from football, Koo played for the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football (AAF), where he scored the first points in league history and converted all of his field goal attempts until the AAF indefinitely suspended operations. This success led to Koo’s NFL return with the Falcons the same year. Koo is known for his ability to successfully execute onside kicks, a reputation he developed as a member of the Falcons, and received Pro Bowl honors in 2020. He is also the NFL’s third-most accurate placekicker.
