Freshman kicker Hudson Switken lands on New Haven’s roster with legit specialist hype
Hudson Switken enters the 2026 season as a fresh-legged freshman kicker/punter for New Haven, listed at 5-foot-10 and 157 pounds, and he already showed enough promise to earn a top-25 spot on Kornblue Kicking’s FAB 50 kickers list for his class[6][7]. The big draw is his specialist ceiling: he has the profile of a developmental weapon with college-ready frame, kicking pedigree, and early recruiting respect, which makes him a sensible fit for a program looking for upside at specialist. With no current-season game stats available yet, the read is mostly about projection, but the early buzz says he’s one to watch[6][7].
