Charlie Viorel gives Gardner-Webb a reliable, high-efficiency kicking weapon
In the 2025 season, Charlie Viorel emerged as a standout specialist for Gardner-Webb, earning OVC-Big South Special Teams Player of the Week after an 11-point game against The Citadel and posting strong finishing ability on both field goals and extra points. ESPN lists him at 71.4% on field goals and 94.9% on PATs, while Gardner-Webb lists him as a 5-10, 185-pound junior kicker. He looks like a fit for teams that value dependable scoring, game management, and a kicker who has already shown he can swing a close game.[1][3][4]
