Class of 2026 Kickers   Isaac Rivera – K – Lake Wales High   Stats: 8/9 FG (89%) | Long: 35 yards | 5'11 170 lbs | All-State selection | Offer- Warner University   Evaluation: Rivera is one of the most accurate kickers in his class, converting nearly 90% of his attempts. His compact, repeatable form makes him deadly inside 40 yards. If he can add distance beyond 40, he projects as a college-ready kicker with excellent consistency and calm under pressure.   Evan Mulcare – K/P – Clearwater High   Stats: 8/11 FG (73%) | Long: 47 yards | 6'2 160 lbs | 5 star Kohl's Punter Rating   Evaluation: Mulcare pairs solid accuracy with standout range; his 47-yard long already exceeds many of his peers. His leg whip is quick and generates great lift. Needs to dial in accuracy beyond 40 yards but has high upside as one of the more powerful legs in his class.   William Henderson – K/P – Leesburg High   Stats: 7/13 FG (54%) | Long: 42 yards | 6'3 200 lbs | 1st Team All-County | 4.5 star Kohl's rating   Evaluation: Henderson shows legit power (42-yard long) but needs refinement in consistency. Mechanics can get inconsistent at times, but his raw leg strength is undeniable. As a dual kicker/punter, his versatility could add value to college programs with improved accuracy.   Dariece Collins – K/P – Naples High   Stats: 6/9 FG (67%) | Long: 37 yards | 5'10 174 lbs   Evaluation: Collins is reliable in the 30–40-yard range and has steady mechanics. His form generates good lift, but he'll need more power to extend his effective range. His punting ability makes him a multi-tool specialist with strong upside.   Francisco Moscoso – K/P – Belen Jesuit High   Stats: 4/6 FG (67%) | Long: 55 yards | Committed to Harvard University   Evaluation: Moscoso is a big-legged kicker with the longest successful field goal (55 yards) of this group—a huge indicator of potential. His power is elite for his class, though consistency (67%) will need to improve. College coaches will be drawn to his raw distance.   Irvin Menjivar – K/P – Rickards High   Stats: 3/3 FG (100%) | Long: 44 yards | 6'0 160 lbs   Evaluation: Menjivar's perfect record is a testament to his precision. His 44-yard long shows next-level leg strength. Smooth, calm form makes him reliable. Should start drawing more college interest if he maintains this consistency and gets more attempts.   Alexander Paul – K – Lecanto High   Stats: 3/3 FG (100%) | Long: 25 yards | 5'9 142 lbs   Evaluation: Paul's accuracy is excellent but hasn't been tested beyond 30 yards. Technique is very clean on shorter kicks, and if he can extend range, he'll move from solid contributor to a potential college prospect.   Carson Stewart – K/P – Arnold High   Stats: 3/5 FG (60%) | Long: 31 yards | 5'7 140 lbs   Evaluation: Stewart displays reliable short-range ability but needs work on ball striking to improve accuracy on deeper kicks. Has shown good fundamentals; adding power and consistency will be key in his development.   Michael Arbour – K – Rockledge High   Stats: 3/6 FG (50%) | Long: 45 yards | 5'9 148 lbs | Offer- Lane College   Evaluation: Arbour has shown flashes of top-tier leg strength with a 45-yard make, but his accuracy needs polish. His upside is clear if he can bring his FG percentage up—ball comes off his foot with great velocity.   Gavin Boyd – K/P – Dr. Joaquin Garcia High   Stats: 3/6 FG (50%) | Long: 28 yards | 5'9 140 lbs | 4.5 star Kohl's rating   Evaluation: Boyd is technically sound on shorter attempts but needs work extending range. With solid fundamentals, he's a candidate to see a big jump if he adds power and gains consistency from distance.   Class of 2027 Kickers   Michael Johnson – K – Archbishop McCarthy High   Stats: 4/6 FG (67%) | Long: 38 yards | 5'9 183 lbs   Evaluation: Johnson has a strong early foundation for a young kicker, with good mechanics and a reliable leg inside 40 yards. His 67% FG rate suggests room to improve but also highlights his ability to hit under pressure as a sophomore.   Ben Beavers – K – Jesuit High   Stats: 3/5 FG (60%) | Long: 43 yards | 6'2 170 lbs   Evaluation: Beavers already shows a big leg (43-yard long) for a 2027 kicker. His FG percentage indicates he's still developing consistency, but his form is advanced for his age. Could quickly rise among his class with technical refinements.   Noah Wallder – K – Jesuit High   Stats: 2/3 FG (67%) | Long: 37 yards | 5'11 165 lbs   Evaluation: Wallder's mechanics are clean and repeatable. He shows a calm approach and accuracy on mid-range kicks. If he continues to grow strength, he has a solid ceiling as one of the more accurate kickers in his class.
