Cal’s clutch, old-school placekicker with a pro-style leg
D’Amato was a reliable Cal weapon in the 2012–13 seasons, finishing his college career with 212 points, 40-of-55 field goals (72.7%), and 92-of-96 extra points (95.8%)[1][2]. He was the nation’s No. 2-ranked kicker as a recruit and a unanimous three-star prospect, which matches the profile: strong leg, pressure-kick experience, and enough consistency to handle both kickoff and placekicking duties[4]. His résumé also shows some volatility from distance, so he looks best as a fit for teams that value proven upside and confidence under fire over perfect week-to-week polish[2][11].
