Big-leg kicker with proven range, but Pitt’s 2025 picture got complicated
In the 2024 season at Murray State, James London made 14 of 19 field goals, hit all 23 extra points, and drilled seven field goals from 50-plus yards, including a long of 55, which is exactly the kind of leg talent that turns heads[4][5]. He earned first-team All-MVFC honors and All-American honorable mention recognition, signaling real upside as a high-end distance kicker[3][9]. The catch: Pitt’s 2025 kicking competition moved on without him, and he did not attempt any in-game kicks for the Panthers, so the résumé is more “intriguing upside” than “locked-in answer” right now[1][7][8].
