Tall, legacy-laced Troy kicker still waiting for his breakout
Tynes is a 6-foot-3, 178-pound redshirt freshman kicker at Troy who has yet to see game action, so the upside case is more about tools and pedigree than stat-sheet production. He brings a big-frame profile, a special-teams lane with clear competition in the room, and a notable football bloodline as the son of NFL veteran Lawrence Tynes. Troy listed him on the 2026 roster, and campus coverage says the kicker battle is open, which makes him a name to watch if you want long-term leg strength and composure with growth runway.
