Liam Shepherd brings limited college sample size, but reliable short-range value at kicker
In his 2025 Valparaiso season, Liam Shepherd scored 6 points and went 6-for-8 on extra points, with no field-goal attempts recorded, so the evaluation is still based on a very small sample.[1][14][15] His appeal is straightforward: he has shown enough efficiency on PATs to suggest usable baseline kicking reliability, and his roster presence gives Valparaiso a specialist with live-game experience.[1][15] For a team, he profiles more as a developmental or depth fit than an immediate difference-maker, since the current data set is too thin to prove range, clutch kicking, or high-end upside.[1][14]
