UIW Kicker Will Faris: Reliable 39-Yard Closer with Vanderbilt Pedigree
Will Faris, a 6-2, 160-pound kicker from Dallas, TX who committed to Vanderbilt before joining UIW, delivered a crucial 39-yard field goal in UIW's 24-3 third-quarter lead against Lamar in the 2025 season, showcasing his long-range reliability in tight defensive battles. His differentiator is a calm, high-intensity demeanor under pressure, evidenced by his lone scoring contribution in a gritty 10-7 loss to SLU where the game remained a defensive slugfest. Faris brings a proven track record of clutch performance and a Vanderbilt-caliber technical foundation, making him an ideal fit for teams needing a steady, confident kicker who can extend leads in low-scoring, high-stakes games without injury concerns reported.
