Braeden McAlister brings elite leg strength and proven big-moment range to Georgia State
McAlister is a high-upside kicker whose calling card is **distance**: in the 2025 season, he hit a school-record 60-yard field goal, tied the Sun Belt record, and finished with 36 touchbacks on 43 kickoffs, showing he can impact both field position and scoring. He also went 7-for-8 on PATs and has shown steady production in back-to-back seasons, which makes him a useful fit for a team that values kickoff consistency plus the ability to steal points from long range. The main differentiator is rare confidence and leg strength for a collegiate kicker.
