Scouting Verdict

Preseason FIRST Team All-Mountain West kicker on both Phil Steele and Athlon: 19 of 25 on field goals in 2025 with a long of 50 and 77 points. Specialist grades are capped by position value, but this is the best kicker in the league.

Ceiling · 6.0

Projected 2026 starter (K1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Mountain West draft-temper · specialist (low draft value).

Floor · 5.7

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.2.
