Princeton’s clutch, dual-threat kicking weapon
Taylor Northrop emerged as one of Princeton’s most valuable special-teams pieces in the 2001 season, finishing first at Princeton and tied for second in Ivy history with 38 career field goals, while also handling punting at a 39.4-yard average and earning First-Team All-Ivy honors. His calling card was range and poise: he hit 13 of 17 field goals and 16 of 16 extra points in 2001, and Princeton notes he could change games from distance and under pressure. If you want a kicker with proven leg strength, reliability, and big-moment nerve, Northrop fits the bill.
