Jayden Onuonga brings size, upside, and a live leg to NDSU’s kicking competition
In the 2026 season, Jayden Onuonga enters North Dakota State with real intrigue: at 6-foot-4 and around 205 pounds, he has uncommon size for a kicker and has already impressed coaches with a strong leg and developing timing. His senior high school line at Forest Lake was efficient — 7-for-9 on field goals with a long of 45 yards and 39.9 yards per punt — and he was a first-team all-conference and Star Tribune All-Minnesota selection. He looks like a fit if your team wants a high-upside specialist with football-plus-athletic background, though he’s still refining rhythm and consistency.
