Francisco Orduno Jr. brings a big leg and early-season poise to NAU
Francisco Orduno Jr. is already showing why Northern Arizona trusts him in pressure spots: in the 2026 season opener against Eastern Washington, he hit both a 24-yard and a 25-yard field goal and handled all of NAU’s kicking duties in a 34-27 win. He arrives with a reputation for range and toughness—his high-school résumé included a 60-yard field goal and strong camp recognition—making him more than just a safe short-range option. If you want a kicker with upside, confidence, and legit distance, he’s worth a close look.
