Cooper Bolton brings big-frame kicking upside to Bucknell, but he’s still an untested commodity
In the 2025 season, Bucknell listed Cooper Bolton as a reserve kicker who did not see game action, so the intrigue is still about projection rather than production. His pre-college résumé points to real leg strength and reliability — he was a special teams standout at St. Sebastian’s School, scored 93 career points, and had a 71-yard kickoff and a 35-yard field-goal long — which suggests a kicker with size, upside, and a decent developmental floor. If a team wants a developing specialist with early promise, Bolton is worth monitoring; if it needs a proven Saturday weapon right now, he’s not there yet.
