Wisconsin’s kickoff specialist with upside, but still an unknown on field goals
Gavin Lahm is a **high-floor kickoff weapon** for Wisconsin, with three straight seasons handling kickoffs and a 2024 average of 64.2 yards with 38 touchbacks, but his field-goal accuracy remains largely untested because he had not attempted a regular-season field goal through his first three-plus years. Wisconsin’s roster lists him as a graduate student and the strongest case for him is dependable leg strength, experience, and durability; the key question for any team is whether they need proven kickoff production more than a battle-tested placekicker.[3][12]
