Towering Leg Talent from Eastern Kentucky with Pro Day Buzz
Ben Deighton is a 6-4, 200-pound kicker from Eastern Kentucky University who drew significant NFL scout attention at EKU's pro day, with representatives from 23 teams in attendance. The Richfield, Ohio native transferred to EKU after playing at Baldwin Wallace and brings rare physical tools for the kicking position—his height and frame are notable differentiators in a role typically filled by smaller-framed specialists. His dual-sport background (soccer and football) at Revere High School suggests well-rounded athletic ability and competitive drive. Best fit for teams seeking a kickoff specialist with upside and physical tools to develop.
