Noe Ruelas is UCF’s clutch, long-range kicker with elite 2025 efficiency
Ruelas emerged as one of the Big 12’s most reliable specialists in 2025, going 15-for-17 on field goals, 32-for-33 on extra points, and leading the conference in FG percentage while earning All-Big 12 Third Team honors and Lou Groza semifinalist recognition.[2][11][13] What makes him valuable is the combo of consistency and range: he drilled three 50+ yard kicks, including a game-winner against Oklahoma State, and handled kickoffs with a strong touchback rate, giving a team both scoring insurance and field-position value.[7][8][12]
