SDSU's 55-Yard Clutch Kicker with Dual K/P Experience
Kevin Carrigan Jr., a 6-1, 200-lb junior kicker for South Dakota State, stands out as the Jackrabbits' only player with proven dual kicking and punting experience, a rare differentiator in FCS football. His most striking strength is his long-range reliability—he drilled a 55-yard field goal in 2025, showcasing elite leg strength and precision under pressure. Carrigan brings a high-intensity, clutch personality, having led his team to multiple bowl appearances with leadership in high-stakes moments. Though he transferred from UCF in May 2025, he quickly integrated into SDSU’s top-3 ranked program, contributing to their 12-3 2024 season. With no reported injury history and a work-diligent approach, he’s a perfect fit for teams needing a versatile, pressure-tested kicker who can handle both field goals and punts. Why care? He’s the kind of kicker who wins games when the clock is ticking down.
