URI's Clutch Kicker with Proven Legs and Ice-Cold Accuracy
Junior placekicker Ty Groff has been a revelation for Rhode Island, converting 19-of-29 FGs (65.5%) and 79-of-81 XPs for 136 career points through 2025, ranking among URI's all-time kicking leaders with a 47-yard bomb as a freshman that earned CAA Special Teams Player of the Week honors[1][2]. A high school captain who led New Canaan to a state title with 15-of-17 FGs (88%) including 48-yarders, Groff brings battle-tested poise, consistency in high-stakes games (FGs in 5 straight + playoff), and zero injury red flags—making him a reliable, differentiator for teams needing a dependable leg under pressure[2]. Perfect fit for squads prioritizing special teams edge.
