Rylan Vinard brings award-winning high-school consistency to Indiana State’s kicking job
Vinard enters Indiana State as a redshirt freshman kicker with a strong specialist résumé: he was a 2024 all-conference and all-county pick, earned special teams player of the year honors three straight seasons, and finished high school as his program’s all-time leader in field goals made, field-goal percentage, and PAT conversion rate.[6] He did not log game stats in 2025 after redshirting, so the key question is translation to the college level, but his track record suggests reliability, composure, and a high-floor kicking profile that fits a team needing dependable points and steady special teams execution.[6]
