Nathanial Vakos brings reliable leg strength and pro-level kicker traits to Wisconsin
Vakos enters 2026 as Wisconsin’s steady, high-end kicker: in 2025 he was perfect on extra points (10-for-10) and already owned the Badgers’ all-time mark for 50-yard field goals made, showing both consistency and real range. He also drew NFL interest after pro day, which matters because it signals evaluators see a transferable leg and dependable mechanics, not just college production. He fits best for a team that values accuracy, kickoff power, and composure under pressure, especially from long distance.
