25. Riley Callaghan, Old Dominion
Riley Callaghan is coming in from the FCS level and earned second-team all-conference honors last year. He has 42 career made field goals and will try to continue that success at the FBS level.

2025 Old Dominion Win Total 5.5 (Over -200/ Under +165)
1. Dominic Zvada, Michigan
Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada was a first-team All-American for his performance during the 2024 season. He made 21 of his 22 field goals and 26 of his 27 extra points. Zvada was a key cog in Michigan's victory over Ohio State and Alabama at the end of the season despite a lackluster offense.

2. Stephen Rusnak, Cincinnati
Stephen Rusnak is transferring to Cincinnati after an All-AAC season with the Charlotte 49ers in 2024. He was a perfect 11-of-11 on field goals, including three from 50 yards or more. Rusnak should be able to help the Bearcats become more competitive in the Big XII in 2024 after the kickers in 2024 missed six total field goals.
3. Lucas Carneiro, Ole Miss
A Lou Groza semifinalist in 2024, Lucas Carneiro is stepping up in competition in 2025. At Western Kentucky, he earned Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Year after connecting on 18-of-19 field goals and all 41 of his extra points. He will replace Caden Davis, who missed five field goals last season.
4. Dom Dzioban, Miami (OH)
Dom Dzioban does it all for the Miami (OH) Redhawks on special teams as he serves as both the kicker and punter. Dzioban was a Groza Award semifinalist as he hit 26-of-30 field goals. He should be on plenty of preseason watch lists as he enters 2025 as the best kicker in the MAC.
5. Will Ferrin, BYU
BYU’s Will Ferrin was named Co-Big XII Special Teams Player of the Year in 2024 and was a Groza Award Semifinalist. He set the BYU single-season record for field goals made with 24. He also came up in the clutch in the Cougars’ biggest games. Ferrin returns as a game-changer on special teams in 2025.

6. Drew Stevens, Iowa
Drew Stevens is a preseason All-Big Ten selection by multiple outlets. He has played in 40 games and connected on 54-of-67 field goal attempts in his career. He has lived up to his 2023 freshman All-American honors.

2025 Iowa Win Total: 7.5 (Over +120/ Under -145)
7. Peyton Woodring, Georgia
Georgia has one of the SEC’s best kickers in Peyton Woodring. He graded out as the best kicker in the SEC, according to Phil Steele. Last season, Woodring was 21-of-23 on field goals with a long of 55 and is 42-of-48 for his career.
8. Caden Chittenden, USC
A transfer from UNLV, Caden Chittenden is coming off a year in which he was the Mountain West Freshman of the Year. He made 26-of-33 field goals and 55-of-56 extra points.

There are no domes in the Big Ten, though.

2025 USC Win Total: 7.5 (Over -185/ Under +150)
9. John Love, Virginia Tech
John Love is arguably the best kicker in the ACC coming into 2025. He booted an ACC long of 60 yards last season and connected on 16-of-18 field goals. The Hokies can score from deep if they need to.

2025 Virginia Tech Win Total: 6.5 (Over +115/ Under -140)
10. Jonah Delange, UAB
UAB’s Jonah Delange is a preseason First Team All-AAC selection after nailing 21-of-24 field goals in 2024. He also handled kickoff duties with 14 touchbacks on 68 kickoffs.

2025 UAB Win Total: 4.5 (Over +115/ Under -140)
11. Nicolas Radicic, Indiana
The Indiana Hoosiers did not attempt many field goals in 2024, and that “hurt” Nicolas Radicic’s visibility. When they did kick it, he made 10 of 11. Radicic was a perfect 69 of 69 on extra points and blew by the IU program record in that category.

2025 Indiana Win Total: 8.5 (Over +110/ Under -130)
12. Clune Van Andel, Arkansas State
Junior Clune Van Andel is one of the best kickers in the Group of Five. He made 21-of-25 field goals in 2024. He also set the program record for consecutive makes with 17 field goals in a row.

2025 Arkansas State Win Total: 5.5 (Over +125/ Under -150)
13. Trey Smack, Florida
Trey Smack really can make the ball fly on the field. He has a career-long of 55 yards and is on the Lou Groza Award Watch List entering 2025. For his career, Smack has made 35-of-42 field goals and 73 extra points.

2025 Florida Win Total: 7.5 (Over +100/ Under -120)
14. Collin Rogers, SMU
Collin Rogers was an All-American in 2025, but his field goal percentage is lower than one would expect. He hit just 24-of-33 field goals, but was a perfect 52-of-52 on PATs and booted half of his kickoffs for touchbacks.

2025 SMU Win Total: 8.5 (Over -110/ Under -110)
15. Laith Marjan, Kansas
Laith Marjan comes to the Jayhawks from South Alabama after a Second Team All-Sun Belt season. He was 16-of-17 on field goals and 42-of-44 on extra points.

2025 Kansas Win Total: 6.5 (Over -155/ Under +130)
16. Mateen Bhaghani, UCLA
After a rocky 2023 season at Cal, Mateen Bhaghani bounced back after transferring to UCLA. In 2024, he made 20 of 27 field goals, with a long of 57 yards.

2025 UCLA Win Total: 5.5 (Over +120/ Under -145)
17. Brock Taylor, Vanderbilt
Brock Taylor was money for the Commodores in 2024. He made 18-of-21 field goals, including a long of 57 yards. He is still just a sophomore and could get even better.

2025 Vanderbilt Win Total: 5.5 (Over +130/ Under -155)
18. Emmet Kenney, Stanford
The Cardinal may stink, but Emmet Kenney is a bright spot. He was 14-of-17 on field goals last year with a long of 52 yards. Kenney was also a perfect 32-of-32 on PATs. Kenney may give Stanford fans a glimmer of hope that they might win more games in 2025.

2025 Stanford Win Total: 3.5 (Over +145/ Under -175)
19. Kyle Konrardy, Iowa State
Sophomore Kyle Konrardy struggled with consistency as a freshman, but still hit 21-of-28 field goals. He was also 46-of-48 on PATs. If the Cyclones are going to compete for a CFP spot, Konrardy will have to show the moxy he had in his game-winner at Iowa.

2025 Iowa State Win Total: 7.5 (Over +115/ Under -140)
20. Gabriel Plascencia, San Diego State
Gabriel Plascencia has a big leg with a career-long of 50 yards. Last season, he hit 13 of 14 field goals for a bad SDSU team. If Plascencia continues his upward trend, he could become a portal casualty in the winter.

2025 San Diego State Win Total: 4.5 (Over -165/ Under +140)
21. Jesus Gomez, Arizona State
Jesus Gomez comes to Arizona State from Eastern Michigan (talk about your climate change). Last season, he hit 20-of-25 field goals and 27-of-29 extra points. He set EMU’s school record for longest field goal with a 57-yarder last season.

2025 Arizona State Win Total: 8.5 (Over -105/ Under -115)
22. Noah Burnette, Notre Dame
Another transfer kicker, Noah Burnette, will try to replace Mitch Jeter at Notre Dame. Burnette kicked for UNC last season and has been an All-ACC performer in the past. He hit 15-of-21 field goals last season and 38-of-39 extra points.

2025 Notre Dame Win Total: 10.5 (Over +115/ Under -140)
23. Gianni Spetic, Memphis
Gianni Spetic comes to Memphis from Ohio, where he had a nice 2024 season. He connected on 13-of-16 field goals and 47-of-48 extra points. He has 31 career made field goals.

2025 Memphis Win Total: 8.5 (Over +110/ Under -135)
24. Isaiah Hankins, Colorado State
The Baylor transfer moves down a level in competition, but moving up in altitude could help his distance. Isaiah Hankins scored 274 points at Baylor and could be a real weapon for Colorado State. He has a long field goal of 54 yards.

2025 Colorado State Win Total: 6.5 (Over +150/ Under -185)
25. Riley Callaghan, Old Dominion
Riley Callaghan is coming in from the FCS level and earned second-team all-conference honors last year. He has 42 career made field goals and will try to continue that success at the FBS level.

2025 Old Dominion Win Total 5.5 (Over -200/ Under +165)
1. Dominic Zvada, Michigan
Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada was a first-team All-American for his performance during the 2024 season. He made 21 of his 22 field goals and 26 of his 27 extra points. Zvada was a key cog in Michigan's victory over Ohio State and Alabama at the end of the season despite a lackluster offense.
