Chapman wins Furman’s kicking job with consistency and a booming leg
In 2026, Nathan Chapman has emerged as Furman’s No. 1 placekicker after earning coach Clay Hendrix’s trust with his consistency, height on kicks, and accuracy. The Paladins say he’s in line to handle kickoffs too, which hints at a full special-teams workload and a strong leg that can flip field position. Chapman arrived with a decorated high-school résumé, including a perfect 10-for-10 field-goal senior season and all-state honors, so the profile is simple: reliable, technically sound, and ready for pressure.
