Tarleton State’s reliable leg with big-time kickoff juice
In the 2026 season, Alejandro De La Poza has been perfect on extra points so far and already looks like a steady, high-upside weapon for Tarleton State’s special teams[1][13]. His calling card is versatility: he arrived after a JUCO career where he hit 15-of-20 field goals, drilled a school-record 52-yarder, scored 98 points, and posted a 96% touchback rate on kickoffs[2][6]. At 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, he brings size, experience, and a proven big-moment leg; if you want a kicker who can flip field position and handle pressure, he’s the kind of fit you actually care about.
