veteran UNI kicker with a big leg and a deep college-football résumé
Matt Easley is listed by UNI as a place kicker on the 2026 roster, and ESPN still carries him in the Northern Iowa Panthers player database, but the public search results available here do not show current 2026 kicking stats or a recent stat line to verify form. The clearest differentiator is experience: he was already handling kickoff duty for UNI in 2015, including a career-high 58.0 yards per kick against Illinois State with two touchbacks, which suggests leg strength and game-ready utility. If a team wants a steady, proven specialist with long-term program familiarity, Easley fits the profile; if it needs fresh, recent production data, that’s not publicly visible here.
