Leyton Simmering (b. Sept. 5, 2003) is a preferred walk-on place kicker from Rosemount High School in Minnesota who is majoring in aeronautical technology with the hope of eventually becoming a pilot.
Considered the top senior kicker from Minnesota, Simmering redshirted in 2022 and enters 2023 as Chris Tennant’s primary challenger for kicking duties if Tennant struggles again.
An All-District selection who also was a member of Rosemount’s state soccer squad, Simmering lettered three years for the Irish under head coach Jeff Erdmann.
He was rated the 23rd-best kicker in the Class of 2022 by National Kicking Rankings.
