William Joyce brought steady veteran legs to South Carolina’s kicking game in 2025
A fifth-year, walk-on-turned-starter, William Joyce gave South Carolina a calm, reliable kicking presence in the 2025 season, finishing 8-for-11 on field goals and a perfect 19-for-19 on extra points for 43 points.[1][5][6] His best trait is consistency under pressure, plus unusual versatility for a kicker — he also handled punting reps and holder duty — while his academics and engineering background hint at the kind of disciplined, low-drama teammate coaches love.[2] The one knock: his range looked modest, with most of his value coming from solid midrange and PAT work rather than booming NFL-style leg power.[9][10]
