UTRGV’s first history-making kicker keeps it clean and clutch
JJ Contreras is a redshirt sophomore kicker for UTRGV who’s already shown reliable leg strength and poise: in the 2025 season, he went 6-for-6 on extra points and scored 6 total points, with no field-goal attempts recorded in ESPN’s season stat line[1][3]. He was highlighted as the first kicker in UTRGV football history, and his high school résumé showed consistent touch under pressure, including a 98.1% PAT rate and 17 made field goals in 24 tries with a long of 46 yards[4][5][6]. If your team wants a specialist with a steady, low-drama profile and a local-hero edge, he fits the bill[4][6].
