steady UNLV leg with proven clutch range
In the 2026 cycle, Nicolai Bornand profiles as a reliable, battle-tested UNLV kicker with a big-game résumé and long-range confidence; his career numbers show 70.8% field-goal accuracy, 97.9% on extra points, and a long of 54 yards, which speaks to both consistency and range[1][6]. The standout trait is clutch value: he’s delivered key makes in pressure spots, including overtime and late-game situations, and his long UNLV tenure suggests poise, durability, and trust from coaches rather than flash[7][10].
