Memphis kicker Philippe Laforge looks steady and already game-ready
In the 2026 season, Philippe Laforge has started strong for Memphis, going 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points after the season opener, including a 36-yard make against UNLV. He’s a 6-foot-1, 206-pound sophomore transfer from Coastal Carolina with enough leg strength to handle longer kicks and the consistency coaches love in close games. He also brings some experience after appearing in 13 games in 2025, so this isn’t a raw leg project. If you want a reliable kicker who’s already contributing, he fits the bill.
