Tulane’s steady-legged specialist with proven range
Kriston Esnard is a Tulane kicker with real high-school pedigree and leg strength, including a 54-yard field goal in prep and a three-star rating from 247Sports; Tulane also listed him as a redshirt freshman in its roster, and he saw game action for the Green Wave with a 48.3-yard kickoff average in his 2021 appearance. That combination makes him a useful special-teams piece: he brings kickoff pop, game-tested scoring touch, and enough prospect buzz to suggest upside if Tulane wants consistency on field goals and hidden-yardage wins.
