Reliable, high-volume **MVFC kicker** with a proven big-leg profile
Thomas Kinney’s value is his steadiness and range: in the 2024 season, he was perfect on extra points (41-for-41), handled both field goals and kickoffs for Southern Illinois, and drilled multiple 50-plus-yard kicks, including a 52-yarder that tied for the second-longest in the FCS that year. He also earned All-MVFC second-team and Newcomer honors, which signals real conference-level impact. For a team, he looks like a dependable specialist with legitimate long-distance upside and the temperament to handle pressure kicks.
