Tulsa's Towering 6-6 Kicker Reed Malphurs: Touchback Machine with Rare Size
Reed Malphurs, Tulsa's redshirt freshman placekicker/punter, dominated 2024 kickoff duties with 58 boots for 3,432 yards and 23 touchbacks across all 12 games, plus a pair of tackles showcasing surprising athleticism for his 6-6, 208-pound frame. Transfer from Texas after redshirting in 2023, his elite leg strength and high school accolades as District 6-5A Co-Placekicker of the Year make him a specialist gem—perfect for teams needing a reliable kickoff artist who flips the field and rarely allows returns. Care factor: He's a hidden weapon in the kicking game with NFL upside.
