Valparaiso’s Talan Samosky brings a legit all-around leg to the Beacons’ special teams
In the 2026 season, Talan Samosky enters Valparaiso as a junior kicker with a strong multi-sport background and real special-teams polish: his prep résumé includes a career-high 49.5 punting average, 14-of-18 field goals, 36-for-36 on PATs, and 78 points in a single season, plus all-state/all-star recognition. He’s the kind of kicker who can stabilize field position and score efficiently, with the upside to help in both the kicking and punting game. If your team wants a composed, versatile specialist with proven production, he’s worth a serious look.
