Colorado’s Elliot Arnold: the live-leg kicker with real 55-yard pop
In 2026, Elliot Arnold looks like Colorado’s kicking answer after a redshirt year, with coaches and camp reports pointing to a stronger, more consistent leg and comfort from 55 yards in. He arrived as a two-star recruit but was rated among the top kickers in his class, and his high school resume included 15-of-17 field goals and 41-of-43 extra points as a senior. The differentiator is range: he brings a longer field-goal ceiling and kickoff value, which makes him a clean fit if a team wants upside, reliability, and special-teams juice.
