Kandler Happe brings size, kickoff pop, and freshman-to-sophomore upside for Lafayette
Kandler Happe is a 5'11", 198-pound kicker/punter for Lafayette who entered the program as a freshman in 2025 and is listed as a sophomore in 2026, giving the Leopards a young specialist with room to grow.[5][12] His value is in versatility and leg strength—he has been used on kickoffs and in the K/P role, which matters if a staff wants roster flexibility and a potentially developing multi-skill weapon.[5][12] He also fits the profile of a player worth watching because young specialists can swing hidden yardage fast; the main question is whether he can turn that athletic foundation into consistent in-game production.[1][2]
