Villanova’s steady leg: Nick Yako brings reliable kickoff pop and clutch special-teams value
In the 2010 season, Nick Yako was Villanova’s place kicker and kickoff specialist, going 32-for-34 on PATs, 2-for-7 on field goals, and averaging 60.1 yards on 70 kickoffs, which points to a strong leg and real field-position utility[4][8]. His profile suggests a kicker who can help a team with kickoff distance and versatility, even if his field-goal consistency was uneven early on[4][8]. For a roster needing special-teams upside and a calm, functional leg, he looks like a practical fit.
