Elite 70-Yard Kicker & Broncos Rookie Minicamp Invitee
Paul Geelen, a 6'6" senior kicker from Utrecht, Netherlands, stands out as Southern Illinois' undisputed specialist who handled all punting, place-kicking, and kickoff duties in 2024, averaging 43.1 yards on 56 punts with 11 kicks over 50 yards. His defining differentiator is his extended field goal range of 70 yards and a 2025 season accuracy of 15-of-17 (88.2%), missing only from 51 and 59 yards, earning him All-MVFC Second Team honors and a second-team FCS All-American vote. Geelen's intensity is unmatched, recently accepted into the Denver Broncos rookie minicamp, showcasing a rare blend of technical precision, long-range power, and NFL-ready mentality. With no reported injury history and a calm, professional personality, he is an ideal fit for any team needing a reliable, high-ceiling kicker who can change games from deep range.
