(Last Updated: April 24, 2024)
1. Joshua Karty, Stanford
K | 6’2″ | 207 lbs | 4th Year
Joshua Karty had a perfect 2022 season where he hit all 18 of his field goals, 13 of which were 40+ yards. He has the leg strength to consistently hit from 60 yards, and a smooth, repeatable motion to suggest consistency in the future. He gets good lift on his kicks and has a clean approach to the ball. He wasn’t perfect in 2023, but was still very respectable making 23-of-27 kicks despite very few short kicks.
Joshua Karty 2023 Stats
21/21 extra points, 23/27 field goals, 5/5 inside 30 yards, 7/8 30-39 yards, 7/7 40-49 yards, 4/7 50+ yards, 56 long
2. Cam Little, Arkansas
K | 6’1″ | 172 lbs | 3rd Year
Cam Little is the rare college kicker to enter the draft early. The 3rd year junior was consistent throughout his career, having converted over 80% of his field goals in each of his 3 seasons. This past season, Little was especially effective from beyond 40 yards, including 4-of-5 from 50+ yards. Little has a smooth approach to the ball and gets plenty of elevation. He’s shown the ability to bounce back after missed kicks, is effective as a kick off specialist, and has plenty of leg strength to be a weapon at the next level.
Cam Little 2023 Stats
33/33 extra points, 20/24 field goals, 7/7 inside 30 yards, 4/5 30-39 yards, 5/7 40-49 yards, 4/5 50+ yards, 56 long
3. Will Reichard, Alabama
K | 6’1″ | 187 lbs | 5th Year
Will Reichard was a top kicker recruit out of high school, and took over right away for the Crimson Tide. He’s now entering his 5th season as a starter, and has proven to be a reliable option each year. Despite a bit of a dip in 2021, Reichard responded well to avoid a long slump. He’s kicked in a ton of pressure situations, and has a quick consistent motion that looks the part of an NFL kicker. His leg strength is decent, but he’s never been tested on particularly long kicks.
Will Reichard 2023 Stats
55/55 extra points, 22/25 field goals, 3/3 inside 30 yards, 7/7 30-39 yards, 7/10 40-49 yards, 5/5 50+ yards, 52 long
4. Harrison Mevis, Missouri
K | 6’0″ | 241 lbs | 4th Year
Harrison Mevis is a big kicker with one of the most powerful legs in college football. He has been trusted to hit field goals of 50+ throughout his career, and has shown great accuracy when doing so. Like Karty, Mevis can consistently hit 60 yard attempts. He’s also been tested in some high pressure situations, with success. The question for Mevis is all about consistency. He’s had some head scratching short distance misses that he needs to clean up, usually with an approach that feels a bit choppy.
Harrison Mevis 2023 Stats
45/46 extra points, 24/30 field goals, 11/11 inside 30 yards, 8/9 30-39 yards, 2/5 40-49 yards, 3/5 50+ yards, 61 long
5. Griffin Kell, TCU
K | 6’0″ | 195 lbs | 5th Year
Griffin Kell first caught my attention when he sprinted onto the field for a last second field goal with the clock running. No time to properly set up, and he drills a 42 yard field goal to keep TCU undefeated in their magical season. Kell was very consistent in 2022, hitting 17-of-19 field goals despite having none of them come from within 30 yards. His leg strength is decent but not great, and he could stand to slow down at times and be a bit more consistent.
Griffin Kell 2023 Stats
44/46 extra points, 14/21 field goals, 2/2 inside 30 yards, 4/4 30-39 yards, 5/8 40-49 yards, 3/7 50+ yards, 57 long

Traits That Make a Kicker Prospect Great
There may be less traits needed to be a great kicker, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy position to scout. Opportunities vary heavily depending on your school, and kickers who can comfortably hit from 60 yards might have never even attempted a 50 yarder in a game. Leg strength, accuracy, and mental game are among some of the most important factors when scouting kickers.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Kicking Strength
Any kicker that gets drafted will need to be able to hit from 55 yards with consistency. At the college level kicking strength is a bit of a luxury, but at the NFL level it becomes a necessity. Leg strength can also include the ability to get proper elevation on deep kicks.
Consistency
Consistent accuracy can be improved with reps, but if you don’t have it by the time you get to the NFL, you won’t last long. It can difficult to evaluate accuracy in college because field conditions can vary so heavily and the hashes are wider than in the NFL. But maintaining consistent mechanics and hitting a clean ball will help.
Mental Game
We’ve seen plenty of kickers get a case of the yips and randomly lose the ability to kick due to a weak mental game. You’ll also seem plenty of kickers consistently choke when it matters most. Showing the ability to consistently hit clutch kicks is becoming way more common in kicking scouting.
Kickoffs
Fans might be surprised that not every big-legged field goal kicker is an effective kickoff specialist. It’s a totally different skillset, but one you expect your place kicker to be able to handle. Controlling your bounces, getting elevation to force returns, or booming it out of the back of the end zone on command are all skills to have.
Overall Opinion of the 2024 Kicker Class
The 2024 kicker draft class seems legit. The top 4 kickers all seem like future NFL starters, and there’s plenty of other prospects will strong legs who will have a chance. Karty, Mevis, and Little have shown incredible leg strength and consistency, while Reichard has gotten extensive experience in stressful situations with success. The depth of the class falls off very quickly, but having 4 players with a legitimate chance to be drafted isn’t common.
