Josh Placzek is Indiana’s steady, walk-on kicker with legit leg strength
In the 2025 season, Josh Placzek made his college debut for Indiana and handled five second-half kickoffs against Indiana State, averaging 57.8 yards per kick[2][4][15]. What makes him interesting isn’t just the stat line: he arrived as a walk-on, redshirted in 2024, and brings proven high-school accuracy—6-for-6 on field goals and 17-for-17 on PATs as a senior, plus three makes from 40+ yards[2][4][15]. That profile suggests a dependable, no-drama specialist with enough range to matter if Indiana needs consistency and clean kickoff depth.
