Sam Houston's Reliable Kicker with 50% XP% and Junior Intensity
James French, the 5-9, 185-lb Junior kicker for Sam Houston Bearkats, stands out not just for his 50% XP% but for his relentless intensity and calm personality under pressure. Though his FG% is 0.0% in limited 2024-2025 action, French's differentiator is his mental toughness—he thrives in high-stakes moments like the 2024 New Orleans Bowl, where the team secured victory. With no known injury history and a growth mindset, he's a strong fit for teams needing a dependable, emotionally resilient kicker who can elevate performance when the game tightens.
