Tommy Openshaw was Vanderbilt’s pressure-tested kicker, with a strong leg and a steady résumé
In the 2017 season, Tommy Openshaw entered the year as a veteran Vanderbilt placekicker who had already been a three-year starter, earned Lou Groza Award watch-list recognition, and built a reputation for handling big moments. He was especially valuable from distance, connecting on four field goals of 47+ yards in 2016 and going 11-for-12 inside 40 yards that season. The fit? A team wanting a reliable, battle-tested specialist with experience, plus a mature, team-first profile off the field.
