Nathan Zimmer gives Southern a reliable leg with room to grow
In the 2025 season, Southern kicker Nathan Zimmer was a freshman who went 7-for-11 on field goals and 24-for-24 on extra points, showing real value as a scoring weapon even while working through the normal ups and downs of a young specialist.[1] He hit a 42-yard field goal in a win over Alcorn and opened the year with multiple makes, so the upside is obvious: when he’s clean, he can be a steady, game-shaping points bank.[5][8] At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, he brings a college-ready frame, and his profile suggests a kicker/punter hybrid who can help with depth and roster flexibility.[1][7]
