Michigan State’s walk-on kicker with steady depth value
Matt Haughey is a senior placekicker for Michigan State in the 2026 season who has already shown game-action utility: ESPN lists him with a 20.0% field-goal rate, 100.0% extra-point rate, a long of 31 yards, and 14 points. His biggest differentiator is reliability on short kicks and roster flexibility as a fourth-year walk-on depth option, though the sample is small and his ceiling is still being defined. If a team wants a low-drama specialist who can cover depth and handle pressure moments, Haughey is the kind of grinder worth keeping on the radar.
