UNI’s freshman kicker Jimmy Scott arrives with a booming leg and a decorated Iowa pedigree
In the 2026 season, Jimmy Scott is a freshman kicker at Northern Iowa, listed at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, and he’s already viewed as a high-upside special teams piece rather than just a walk-on warm body. His best differentiators are power, versatility, and winning experience: he was described in his signing coverage as one of Iowa’s most decorated special teams athletes, with all-state kicking honors and punting value, plus leadership and multi-sport athleticism. That profile makes him an intriguing fit for a team wanting range, reliability, and some swagger in the kicking game.
