Ben Freehill gives Purdue a reliable kickoff weapon, with room to clean up field-goal consistency
Freehill’s value for Purdue is his leg strength and steady workload: in 2024 he appeared in all 12 games, made 24 of 25 extra points, and handled 114 kickoffs for a 60.2-yard average, showing he can help control field position. His biggest differentiator is reliability on kickoffs, while the main concern is field-goal consistency after earlier struggles, when he went 6-for-11 before the role shifted. If you need a kicker who can handle pressure and keep the operation stable on special teams, he fits well; if you need a proven high-volume field-goal finisher, there’s still evaluation left. [4][1]
