Tate Ryan brings elite kicking pedigree to Sam Houston
Tate Ryan is a **highly rated freshman kicker** at Sam Houston, with recruiting praise that pegs him **No. 18 nationally by Kohl’s Professional Camps** and labels him a serious specialist prospect[6]. That matters because kickers are judged on reliability under pressure, and Ryan’s profile suggests strong leg talent and a clean specialist skill set rather than a developmental project[6][8]. For a team, he looks like a good fit if you want a young, upside-focused kicker who already has national-level recognition and could stabilize special teams early[6].
