steady EIU leg with kickoff value and specialist experience
William Orth has been a long-running special-teams piece for Eastern Illinois, handling place-kicking and much of the kickoff workload across multiple seasons, including 2021 and 2022, which signals trust and roster value. Eastern Illinois listed him as the kicker and kickoff specialist in team materials, and ESPN identifies him as the Panthers’ place kicker. He profiles as a dependable, low-drama specialist: useful if you want field-position consistency and an experienced leg, less flashy than a star skill-position player but often exactly the kind of hidden value that wins close games.
