Talented Kicker Suspended Indefinitely Following Arrest
Conor McAneney, a 6-3 Irish sophomore kicker for Florida State, converted 7 of 10 field goals (long 45 yards) in 11 games during the 2025 season, showcasing reliable accuracy and kickoff specialization. However, his current performance is halted as he was arrested in Fort Lauderdale in March 2026 on felony charges including battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence, leading to an indefinite suspension from all team activities. While his technical strengths as a placekicker are evident, his intensity level has dangerously crossed into uncooperative and violent behavior, raising serious red flags about his personality traits and fit for any team. Despite charges later being reduced to misdemeanors and a reported reinstatement, the incident underscores a volatile off-field profile that makes him a high-risk prospect despite his on-field potential.
