He's shown good consistency in mechanics, with a strong plant and follow-through. If he improves hang time on kickoffs, he could be a top-tier 2026 kicker.   Owen Carey – K – Beachside High   Stats: 8/12 FG (67%) | Long: 47 yards | 6'2 200 lbs | 5 star Kohl's rating and #5 ranked kicker | Committed to University of Tulsa   Evaluation: Carey has one of the stronger legs in this group, already hitting a 47-yard FG. Mechanics can get rushed under pressure, but his powerful stride generates serious lift. If he refines his timing, he could become an elite recruit for his class.   [player_tooltip player_id='1727634' first='Noah' last='Wooten'] – K – Charlotte High   Stats: 6/11 FG (55%) | Long: 40 yards | 5'8 165 lbs   Evaluation: Wooten's accuracy needs work, but he shows good pop on the ball with a reliable swing. His 40-yard long shows college-level potential if he can clean up consistency. Improving his pre-kick setup could help stabilize mechanics.   Thomas Arnold – K/P – Lincoln High   Stats: 5/6 FG (83%) | Long: 47 yards | 6'1 186 lbs | 4.5 star Kohl's rating | 1st Team All-District   Evaluation: Arnold is one of the most efficient kickers, converting over 80% of his attempts with excellent range. His compact, repeatable stroke minimizes errors, and his ability to double as a punter adds significant value.   Caiden Stuelcken – K – Wesley Chapel   Stats: 3/6 FG (50%) | Long: 42 yards | 6'0 175 lbs   Evaluation: Stuelcken has raw power but needs refinement in ball striking and follow-through to improve accuracy. His leg strength is promising, and with technical coaching, he could make major strides in consistency.   [player_tooltip player_id='1626888' first='Maverick' last='Wright'] – K – Mosley High   Stats: 2/2 FG (100%) | Long: 30 yards |   Evaluation: Wright is perfect so far, but his range hasn't been tested extensively. His technique is smooth, and he's poised on shorter kicks. Expanding his range will determine his ceiling as a recruit.   Brock Aflleje – WR/K – Orange Park High   Stats: 2/3 FG (67%) | Long: 27 yards | Jersey #108   Evaluation: As a dual-position athlete, Aflleje shows impressive focus on special teams. Mechanics are fundamentally sound, but he needs to demonstrate accuracy beyond 30 yards to boost recruiting profile.   Alex Procek – K – Matanzas High   Stats: 2/3 FG (67%) | Long: 34 yards |   Evaluation: Procek has a solid foundation, with good lift on his kicks. He's accurate in the mid-30s range and has a consistent approach; adding power will be key to expand his college interests.   Jaxson Farchione – K – East Bay High   Stats: 2/3 FG (67%) | Long: 22 yards | 5'10 180 lbs | Very good baseball prospect   Evaluation: Farchione is consistent inside 30 yards but hasn't shown range beyond. His timing and leg swing are good for a young kicker. If he grows his leg strength, he could develop into a reliable college prospect.   Class of 2027 Kickers   Kevin Morales-Salvador – K – Sebring High   Stats: 6/8 FG (75%) | Long: 37 yards | 5'10 180 lbs   Evaluation: Morales-Salvador has excellent early accuracy and a smooth kicking motion.

Omar Saucedo – K – Pinellas Park High   Stats: 6/9 FG (67%) | Long: 43 yards | 5'8 150 lbs   Evaluation: Saucedo is already nailing longer kicks, including a 43-yard FG, showing a powerful leg. Mechanics are sharp, and his dual-role experience gives him poise under pressure. Adding consistency on kicks outside 35 yards will elevate his stock.   Noah Ash – K – Ponte Vedra High   Stats: 6/13 FG (46%) | Long: 39 yards | 5'11 188 lbs | 5 star Kohl's rating | 3-D1 offers   Evaluation: Ash's leg strength is ahead of accuracy at this stage. His ball flight is solid, but timing inconsistencies hurt his percentage. If he sharpens technique, he could quickly improve as he already shows solid range.   Brandin Gallaway – K – Braden River High   Stats: 4/4 FG (100%) | Long: 36 yards | 6'4 190 lbs | 5 star, #4 ranked Kohl's kicker | 3-D1 offers   Evaluation: Gallaway was perfect last season, demonstrating elite accuracy on shorter kicks with impressive composure. While his long is 36 yards, he has time to develop range as a 2027 player with standout fundamentals. Top rated Punter.   Ramsi Tahji – K – Gaither High   Stats: 4/6 FG (67%) | Long: 32 yards | 6'0 175 lbs   Evaluation: Tahji shows promising consistency and a repeatable approach. His calm pre-kick routine keeps him steady under pressure. Needs to build power for longer attempts but has the base of a future college-ready kicker.   Dominick Rivera –K – Lake Gibson High   Stats: 3/6 FG (50%) | Long: 40 yards | 5'4 140 lbs   Evaluation: Rivera's 40-yard make hints at high upside, but accuracy must improve. His ability to play ither positions as RB/K makes him intriguing, but focusing on mechanics will help unlock his full potential as a specialist.
