Oregon State’s mature Japanese-born kicker brings a big leg and steady upside
Tetsuta Tsuyumine is a senior Oregon State kicker from Kawasaki, Japan, with a reputation for clean mechanics, strong kickoffs, and long-range ability; one evaluator called him an “experienced, mature kicker” with a pure ball off the ground and 55-plus-yard range in the 2025 season. He also brings unusual cross-sport athletic background from soccer and cross country, plus academic consistency, but he was sidelined by injury in 2025 and faced competition for the job, so the key question is health and whether his leg translates into dependable Saturdays.
