Western Kentucky’s Chris James is a steady, high-volume leg with proven range
In the 2025 season, Chris James gave Western Kentucky a reliable kicking presence, hitting 18 of 22 field goals and all 46 extra points, with a long of 46 yards; ESPN lists him at a 56.3% career field-goal rate, 89.5% on extra points, and 44 points, so the story is accuracy mixed with some inconsistency on longer attempts. What makes him interesting is the value of a kicker who can handle pressure and still bank points when drives stall—good fit if your team wants a dependable specialist with real game-day experience.
