Texas A&M’s hometown kicker Colton Chmelar is a live-leg prospect with no college game reps yet
Chmelar enters the 2026 season as Texas A&M’s returning kicker, but he did not see game action in 2025, so the appeal is upside, not a proven stat line yet.[1][4] His differentiators are legit: a strong leg, accurate ball-striking, and a big kickoff range that evaluators praised in high school; he also showed unusual versatility as a receiver and punter at A&M Consolidated.[1][8][12] In plain English: he looks like a high-ceiling special-teams piece with hometown toughness and plenty to prove once the lights turn on.[1][4]
