Indiana’s booming-leg kicker with legit long-range juice
In the 2025 season, Brendan Franke was Indiana’s kickoff specialist and long-field-goal option, with a 90.2% touchback rate on kickoffs and a long of 58 yards, showing he can flip field position and handle pressure kicks when healthy. He’s a redshirt senior with size and power, and reports during the 2026 playoff run noted he was trending positive after an injury absence, which matters because his value is tied to both leg strength and availability. If your team wants a specialist who can change hidden yards in a hurry, Franke is a strong fit.
