1. Tyler Loop, Arizona

K | 6’1″ | 190 lbs | 5th Year

Tyler Loop might have the strongest leg I’ve ever seen from a college kicker. He hit a 62 yarder this year, but he’s got even more in the tank which is something I never thought I’d say about a college kicker. 70 isn’t impossible for him, and what’s remarkable is that despite the distance of his kicks, he gets elite elevation on his kicks. He’ll hit it over the netting on a 50 yard attempt.

Loop has a smooth, quick approach, and a fairly consistent strike. With how viscous his kicking motion is he has occasionally mishit the ball causing an awkward sideways spin. 

He seems to show a solid mental game, and shouldn’t struggle with pressures when taking a step up in competition. He had no issues with the jump from high school to college, going a perfect 12-for-12 as freshman in 2021.

Tyler Loop 2024 Stats

23/25 extra points, 18/23 field goals, 1/2 inside 30 yards, 4/4 30-39 yards, 7/8 40-49 yards, 6/9 50+ yards, 62 long

2. Ryan Fitzgerald, Florida State

K | 6’1″ | 190 lbs | 6th Year

Ryan Fitzgerald is coming off an outstanding season for the Seminoles, finishing the year a perfect 13-of-13 on field goals, which included 5 attempts from 50+ yards. 

After struggling in 2022, Fitzgerald effectively bounced back these past two seasons. He’s a consistent kickoff specialist and has enough leg to hit deep kicks consistently, although his long of 59 had significant help from the wind being at his back.

Fitzgerald has shown phenomenal mechanics, with a smooth tempo to his kicks and an extremely consistent strike. 

Ryan Fitzgerald 2024 Stats

14/14 extra points, 13/13 field goals, 5/5 inside 30 yards, 3/3 30-39 yards, 0/0 40-49 yards, 5/5 50+ yards, 59 long

3. Andres Borregales, Miami (FL)

K | 5’11” | 170 lbs | 4th Year

Kicking runs in the family for Andres Borregales, who followed in the footsteps of his brother Jose who was an All-American for the Hurricanes in 2020. Andres took over the starting job as a true freshman in 2021 and was consistent all four years.

Andres is the all time leading scorer for Miami, converting a remarkable 86% of his field goal attempts throughout his career, including 77% from beyond 40 yards. He has enough leg to consistently hit in the 53-57 yard range, with consistent mechanics. 

Andres Borregales 2024 Stats

62/62 extra points, 18/19 field goals, 7/7 inside 30 yards, 4/4 30-39 yards, 5/6 40-49 yards, 2/2 50+ yards, 56 long

4. Caden Davis, Ole Miss

K | 6’2″ | 210 lbs | 6th Year

After limited playing time to open his career for Texas A&M, Caden Davis transferred to Ole Miss where he immediately became a solid starter for the Rebels.

Davis has a massive leg with good overall mechanics, with a 57 yard career long and the ability to hit from 60+ yards if needed. He wasn’t given too many short kick opportunities, and still closed out the season near the top of the SEC in field goal percentage. 

Davis gets good elevation on his kicks, and performed very well in games with poor field conditions, and just about all his misses were by the slimmest of margins.

Caden Davis 2024 Stats

57/59 extra points, 24/29 field goals, 6/6 inside 30 yards, 8/10 30-39 yards, 8/9 40-49 yards, 2/4 50+ yards, 57 long

5. Ben Sauls, Pittsburgh

K | 5’10” | 185 lbs | 5th Year

Ben Sauls was quietly one of the best kickers in college football this season, finishing a remarkable 13-of-16 on field goals of 40+, including a 58 yarder.

The lefty kicker has an impressive combination of strength and accuracy, and the ball comes off his foot looking the same every time. 

Despite only having one kick blocked in his career, Sauls is a tad slow in his approach to the ball and gets only average elevation on his kicks. He’ll want to clean those up if he’s going to find a spot in the NFL.

Ben Sauls 2024 Stats

44/44 extra points, 21/24 field goals, 2/2 inside 30 yards, 6/6 30-39 yards, 7/9 40-49 yards, 6/7 50+ yards, 58 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 2025 Kicker Draft Class

NFL kickers are getting better and better, and college kickers are too (even though it might not seem like it). The make rate on 50+ yard kicks is at an all time high, and the transfer portal is really helping small school kickers get opportunities kicking in bigger opportunities. This class in particular doesn’t stand out too much in a positive or negative way, but there are a few kickers with a legitimate chance to get drafted and plenty of guys with big legs.
