Matthias Dunn is the veteran favorite to anchor the Cougars’ kicking game
In the 2026 season, Matthias Dunn has opened as BYU’s reliable, experienced option at kicker, and he’s already shown clean work on extra points (6-for-6) even as he missed his lone field-goal try in the opener. His biggest differentiator is trust: reports this summer said he was the odds-on favorite for the job because he knows the system and brings proven high-school consistency, including a huge touchback profile and a strong range. If your team wants a kicker with composure, experience, and room to settle into bigger moments, Dunn is a very fit, low-drama option.
