Ray Vallee gives Nicholls a steady, multi-tool leg game with veteran polish
In the 2024 season, Ray Vallee handled both kicking and punting for Nicholls, showing true utility value: he hit 5-of-5 PATs, connected on a 33-yard field goal, and averaged 60.5 yards on 11 kickoffs with 3 touchbacks and 1 out-of-bounds kick. He looks like a dependable, lower-drama specialist whose appeal is consistency and versatility rather than sheer distance hype. If your team wants a seasoned kicker/punter who can cover multiple jobs and keep drives/field position tidy, Vallee is the kind of quietly useful piece coaches love.
