Ball State K Jake Hogue brings steady leg, big-range upside
Jake Hogue is a proven Ball State placekicker with strong touchback/leg strength and reliable extra-point work, plus a history of hitting from distance—ESPN lists him at 57.9% on field goals, 97.1% on PATs, and a long of 45 yards for the current 2026 profile. His value is in special-teams steadiness and roster usefulness: he gives a team a kicker who can handle pressure, manage field position, and has enough leg to matter beyond chip shots. Good fit if you want consistency and kickoff juice over pure highlight-reel flair.
