NC State’s Nick Konieczynski: Big-leg upside, but still proving the consistency piece
In the 2025 season, Nick Konieczynski showed real kickoff power and won NC State’s kicking job in camp, but his early field-goal results were uneven: he went 1-of-3 on field goals and 3-of-3 on extra points against East Carolina, with his lone make from 29 yards while missing from longer range. Reports said he was about 91% in preseason camp, which suggests the raw leg talent is there, but his value depends on tightening accuracy under game pressure. Good fit for a team that can develop a kicker with upside and patience.
