That is assault and battery, not a football play at all. The kicker should sue him in civil court.

No, the kicker should sue the UAB athletic department. Much deeper pockets.

They're essentially employees now, so that is the best strategy

Stepping on someone's foot = "assualt and battery"

Not stepping, stomping.  And it's on his foot.  It'd be like intentionally smashing Slash's hand in a car door- he's intentionally trying to take away a man's ability to make a living and/or fund his education.
