Jake Stewart gives Youngstown State a proven leg from the Penguins' kicking pipeline
Jake Stewart has been a reliable placekicker for Youngstown State, with game logs showing made field goals and extra points in the 2002 season, including a 32-yard field goal against Florida Atlantic and a 40-yard field goal against Indiana State. His value is consistency: clean operation, scoring reliability, and the calm you want when drives stall in scoring range. The upside is straightforward—he fits teams that want a steady, no-drama specialist who can handle field goals and kickoffs. The caution flag: available public data here is older, so a fresh current-season evaluation would be needed before projecting 2026 form.
