Tennessee State's Sophomore Kicker with Big-Arm Potential
Freddy Perez, a 6'3", 208-lb sophomore kicker from Carrollton, GA, stands out for Tennessee State with his rare size and powerful leg for the FCS level [2]. While the Tigers faced a tough 59-3 loss to FCS No. 1 North Dakota State in 2025 and a narrow 7-6 defeat to Charleston Southern, Perez remains a key piece in a rebuilding offense [3][4]. His differentiator is his physical profile—unusually large for a kicker—which suggests strong range and consistency under pressure, though his 2025 game stats show limited scoring opportunities due to team struggles [1]. With high intensity and a calm demeanor typical of specialists, Perez is a high-upside fit for teams needing a kicker with NFL-caliber size and potential for growth in the 2026 season.
