Kansei Matsuzawa is Hawaii’s clutch, record-chasing kicker with a rare rise story
Matsuzawa has become one of college football’s most dependable kickers, highlighted by a walk-off 38-yard game-winner to beat Stanford and a streak of 20 straight made field goals that tied a UH record. In 2024, he led Hawaii in scoring with 68 points, and his path from former soccer player and Japanese-born newcomer to elite college kicker adds a real differentiator: unusual composure, rapid development, and a proven late-game edge. If your team wants a calm, high-upside specialist who has already delivered in pressure moments, he fits the profile.
