Brady Gomez brings freshman kicker upside to South Dakota
Brady Gomez is a freshman placekicker for South Dakota in the 2026 season, listed at 6-0, 165 and coming out of Brother Rice High School in Chicago, where he was extremely reliable on PATs and showed a long field-goal range of 42 yards. His profile screams specialist upside: calm, soccer background, and accuracy over volume, with the kind of steady legs coaches love when they need a dependable trigger man in close games. The big question is opportunity, not talent — if he wins the job cleanly, he looks like a tidy fit for a team that values consistency and field-position discipline.
