Howard freshman John Mendoza shows early kicking efficiency
John Mendoza is a freshman placekicker for Howard whose early production has been steady if modest: he has made 50.0% of his field goals, converted 85.7% of his extra points, and scored 18 points so far. He’s a name to watch because kickers can swing close games, but right now the sample is small and there’s limited public scouting on his leg strength, range, or consistency under pressure. For a team, he looks more like a developmental specialist than a proven finished product.
