Akron’s Owen Wiley brings strong kickoff leg, but field-goal consistency is the swing skill
In the 2025 season, Owen Wiley appeared in all 12 games for Akron, going 4-of-10 on field goals, 11-of-11 on extra points, and averaging 50.6 yards on 52 kickoffs with 10 touchbacks—so he clearly has leg talent and the job-security benefit of handling both scoring and kickoff duties.[2] His profile says “developmental upside” more than polished finished product: the big differentiator is explosiveness on kickoffs, while the clear fit question is whether a team can live with streaky field-goal results and keep coaching him toward steadier accuracy.[1][2][4]
