San Diego’s young kicker is still waiting for a breakout
Caden Abeleda-Leonard is a 2026 senior place kicker at San Diego, but the public stat trail is thin: ESPN lists him as active, while San Diego’s roster notes he did not appear in a game in 2025 and previously posted a career-best 4.8-second hangtime. That profile suggests leg talent and developmental upside more than proven volume, with a soccer background and even art-for-NFL-players side hustle giving him a bit of personality. If you need a polished, game-tested specialist right now, he’s still more projection than plug-and-play.
