John Opalko gives Albany a steady, pressure-tested leg at kicker
In the 2024 season, John Opalko showed real reliability and range for Albany, highlighted by a 3-for-4 field-goal game at Cornell and clutch makes from 40 and 41 yards against LIU. He’s the kind of kicker a coach likes because he has game experience in tight spots and can handle both field goals and kickoffs, with a roster profile that suggests a mature, veteran presence as a graduate student. For a team needing stability, composure, and a dependable special-teams weapon, he’s a sensible fit.
