Jack Coveney looks like a steady, no-drama option for UMass’s kicking game
Jack Coveney’s value is in reliability: UMass has struggled overall in 2026, but kicking remains an area where a dependable specialist can swing field position and keep games manageable. The biggest fit question is whether he can deliver under pressure in a team that has not given its specialists many clean, low-stress moments; the upside is a kicker who can stabilize an offense that has been near the bottom nationally.
