Jonathan Schmidt brings steady, compact kicking reliability for Youngstown State
In the 2025 season, Jonathan Schmidt is listed as Youngstown State’s senior placekicker, and his appeal is the kind coaches love: experienced, compact, and battle-tested in a specialist role. He has been on the roster since 2022, which gives him a deep familiarity with the program and pressure-cooker game-day rhythm. At 5-foot-7 and 180 pounds, he’s not a flashy athlete, but kickers don’t get style points for swagger—they get judged on nerves, consistency, and trust. If your team wants a reliable, low-drama specialist with local roots and long-term familiarity, Schmidt fits the profile.
