Big-legged, battle-tested, and already trusted in Austin
Gianni Spetic looks like a ready-made answer at kicker for Texas in the 2026 season: a 6-foot-3, 221-pound senior with 39 career games of experience, a Lou Groza Award watch-list nod, and a booming leg that has produced 4-for-5 accuracy from 50-plus yards with a long of 55. Texas used him early in 2026 on kickoffs and a 48-yard field goal, signaling real trust. The upside is clear—range, poise, and proven workload—but his value is biggest if he keeps tightening consistency from the 40-49-yard window.
