Georgia Tech freshman Landon Shaffer brings blue-chip kicking pedigree and big-leg upside
Shaffer enters Georgia Tech as a **highly rated specialist** with proven high-school production, including 14-of-18 field goals, a 53-yard long, and 38-of-39 extra points in 2024, plus 56 touchbacks on 60 kickoffs.[5][12] The differentiator is his *range and kickoff power*: recruiting services and camp evaluations praised him as a five-star kicker and four-star punter, suggesting value on both field goals and field position.[5][7][12] He looks like a fit for a team needing upside and special-teams stability, though he is still an unproven college freshman at the next level.[4][5]
