LIU's Will Johnson: Game-Sealing 42-Yarder & 100% PAT Reliability in 2025
Junior kicker Will Johnson for the LIU Sharks delivered a clutch 42-yard field goal to seal a 17-7 win over Robert Morris in the 2025 season, showcasing his ability to close games under pressure [7]. While his overall field goal percentage was 53.8% (8 of 15 attempts), he was perfectly reliable on extra points with a 100% XP% [5]. Johnson's differentiator is his ice-in-veins intensity; he connected on a critical 25-yarder in a tough loss to Mercyhurst and hit a 49-yard and 42-yard field goal in previous high-stakes moments, proving he can handle long-range pressure [1][2]. At 6'2" and 190 lbs, he offers a strong leg and consistent touchback ability, averaging 40.9 yards on kickoffs [2]. For a team needing a kicker who won't miss PATs and can hit 40+ yards when needed, Johnson is a solid fit, though teams seeking elite long-range consistency may want to monitor his FG% trend [5].
