Duke Kicker Ashton Zamani: Sierra Canyon Product Ready to Anchor Special Teams as Freshman
Ashton Zamani, a 5'11", 170-lb freshman kicker from Sierra Canyon High School (Class of 2025), committed to Duke in February 2025 and brings elite big-school pedigree to the Blue Devils' special teams. His differentiator is the high-pressure experience forged at one of California's most competitive prep programs, where he developed a calm, process-oriented mindset under intense scrutiny. While college game stats for the 2025 season aren't yet available as he enters his freshman year, Zamani's trajectory suggests immediate reliability; his smooth kicking mechanics and consistent leg strength are noted traits. He's a low-risk, high-upside fit for any team needing a kicker with proven mental toughness and a track record of performing when it matters most.
