BYU’s walk-on kicker with family ties and a big-leg pedigree
Austin Brasher arrived at BYU as an invited walk-on kicker from Edmond North, with strong family ties to the Cougars and a profile built around reliability, leg strength, and special-teams versatility. In his BYU days, he was used as a kickoff specialist, including a 63.2-yard kickoff average in the 2015 season, which signals real field-flipping power. He stands out more for consistency and trust than flash—exactly the kind of low-drama, high-utility specialist a staff likes when it wants dependable kick coverage and a mature, team-first presence.
