Kent State’s Tommy Newcomb is a developmental kicker with legit leg strength
Tommy Newcomb enters the 2026 season as a redshirt sophomore at Kent State, and the early read is simple: he’s a big-legged specialist with upside, not a finished product. Kent State lists him at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, and his pre-Kent State background included a 47-yard longest kick at Lyons Township, while external player ratings have also tagged his power as a strength. He didn’t play in 2024, so the biggest question is live-game consistency—but if you need a kicker with range and room to grow, he’s one to keep on the radar.
