Georgia Southern’s TJ Hartley III is a young kicker with a live leg and upside
TJ Hartley III is a redshirt sophomore kicker for Georgia Southern who, in the 2025 season, made his collegiate debut and handled kickoff duties against James Madison, showing the leg strength that made him a notable transfer addition. His appeal is projection: he brings size, kickoff power, and a solid prep résumé, plus he was recognized on the Sun Belt Conference Academic Honor Roll. The knock is simple—he’s still early in his college career, so there’s limited game tape, but the ceiling is intriguing for a team wanting a developmental specialist with room to grow.
