Cole Bunce is the clutch-leg kicker Villanova trusts in pressure moments
In the 2021 season, Cole Bunce was a reliable, high-volume scoring weapon for Villanova, tying the school single-season mark with 14 field goals made, going 14-of-16 on field goals and 31-of-33 on PATs while piling up 73 points[1]. He also showed range, drilling five kicks from 40+ yards and connecting from 49 yards, which is the kind of big-leg trait that changes how a defense can defend late downs[1]. Beyond the numbers, Villanova described him as an experienced kicker with a strong leg who was expected to handle both field goals and PATs, the profile of a calm, dependable fit for teams that value steadiness under pressure[1].
