SMU’s kicking depth piece with upside
I couldn’t verify a reliable, current college-football record for an SMU kicker named Chad Hedlund from the provided sources, so I can’t responsibly claim specific 2026 performance metrics; if this is the correct player, his value would need to be judged by camp consistency, range, and pressure-kick reliability rather than stat lines alone. For roster fit, a team should want a kicker who is steady under stress, clean mechanically, and dependable on kickoffs and situational attempts.
