Carston Kieffer enters a true battle at Arizona State
Carston Kieffer is a Tempe-born Arizona State kicker whose biggest calling card is reliability on extra points, but his 2024 field-goal line was uneven at 3-for-5, and 2026 reports say he is competing with Carson Smith for the job rather than owning it outright[1][2][15]. In the 2024 season, he handled 13 extra-point tries, made 12, and showed enough leg to hit from 39 yards, but the coaches’ willingness to split kicking duties suggests this is a prove-it camp for accuracy, consistency, and clutch confidence[1][10][15].
