Beck Janki is Butler’s young leg with early clutch upside
In the 2026 season, Butler junior kicker Beck Janki has already shown he can handle pressure, converting a 34-yard field goal against Georgetown College and drilling a 34-yarder in the Sept. 6 loss to Montana State, with the latter coming in a game where Butler needed every point it could get. He enters as a compact, developmental specialist at 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, and the early read is clear: reliable enough to help on Saturdays, still young enough to grow into a steadier long-range weapon. If your team wants a kicker with room to level up and a live leg, he’s worth a look.
