Derek Morris - Kicker - UMass
My Stats & Video Links

In College, at UMass, I set the school record for longest FG at 53yds, then improved it to 55yds while leading the nation in 50+yd attempts and makes. In my first season, as a walk on at CAL, I earned the starting Kicker position over a 5 year Senior Scholarship player and outperformed a scholarship punter to be named the reserve punter. Named ACC specialist of the week numerous times, I tied the school record going 5 for 5 vs. Oregon State. In High School, I was a four year varsity starter in football and volleyball. I was the only freshman starter on our 2021 Varsity Football and State Championship volleyball team. Honored as All Conference 1st team, All District 1st Team, All Ohio - Kicker, All District - Punter. In camp competition, my longest FG is 70yds. In game, currently 57; but awaiting the chance for more.

Ranked #1 Kicker/Punter in the Nation by Prokicker.com, National Top Prospect by Kicking World, #21 Kicker by Kohl's.

Below are some of my current stats with links to videos. I am working hard to improve everyday. I am consistent >90% up to 45yds, 80% at 50+ with range to 65+yds. I look forward to my 3rd season in 2026 at UMass. Thanks for visiting my site!
