Dean Janikowski brings veteran leg strength, versatility, and rare durability to WSU
In the 2024 season, Washington State senior Dean Janikowski was a do-it-all specialist, handling placekicking and punting while making 8 of 11 field goals and six of his last seven, including a clutch 52-yarder in a double-overtime win. He’s a former walk-on with proven range, strong kickoff value, and a reputation for consistency under pressure, plus real off-field substance as a Wuerffel Trophy and Campbell Trophy honoree. If you want a dependable, high-character kicker with special-teams flexibility, Janikowski is the kind of steady adult in the room every roster needs.
