Specialists Scouting Reports - 2024
Bird’s Eye View: Positional Analysis
No specialist - kicker, punter, or long snapper - is worthy of being a Top 100 pick in April, unlike 2023 when Jake Moody was selected #99 overall by San Francisco. However, there are three draftable kickers - Will Reichard (Alabama), Harrison Mevis (Missouri), and Joshua Karty (Stanford) - and one excellent punting prospect - Tory Taylor (Iowa) available in April in Detroit.
Positional Grade: C
Joshua Karty / Stanford
Strong leg. Made 85% of his career FGs and missed only one extra point. Very reliable with leg strength up to 55 yards.

Will Reichard / Alabama
Will Reichard / Alabama
Very strong leg. Very experienced. Team’s emergency punter and performed well in game against Texas A&M. Made a 50-yard FG v Tennessee. All-time leading scorer in FBS history. Very accurate up to 55 yards.
Harrison Mevis / Missouri
Hit a SEC record 61-yard game winning FG as time expired over Kansas State. Hit the game winning 30-yard FG v Florida. Very strong leg. Very accurate with an over 80% conversion rate but is streaky and has long cold snaps of inaccuracy.
Harrison Mevis / Missouri
Spencer Shrader / Notre Dame
Spencer Shrader / Notre Dame
Transfer from South Florida. Very strong leg but not nearly as accurate as desired. Strong leg but only accurate on kicks up to 55 yards. Gets great depth on kickoffs.
Cam Little / Arkansas
Extremely strong leg – ball booms off his foot. Very accurate – especially inside 50 yards. Has the leg to hit up to 60-yards but accuracy really suffers the farther he has to kick.

Tory Taylor / Iowa
Tory Taylor / Iowa
2023 Ray Guy Award winner. Extremely strong leg. Very good touch for placing the ball inside the ten-yard line. Extremely experienced and reliable punter with years of experience punting in the Big Ten.
