Freddy Joya brings record-setting leg and clutch consistency to New Mexico State
Joya is the kind of kicker who changes game planning: at Texas Wesleyan in 2025, he earned NAIA Special Teams Player of the Week twice after perfect, high-volume performances, including a school-record 19 points and a 5-for-5 field-goal game with a long of 39 yards. His value is consistency under pressure, plus the ability to stack points from both field goals and PATs. For New Mexico State, that profile fits a dependable special-teams weapon rather than a boom-or-bust option.
