2021 Spring Position Preview: Special Teams

Jake Pinegar

Pinegar is well experienced as the team’s starting placekicker since 2017. He’s had his ups and downs, but finished the 2020 season strong after a rough start where he missed three of his first four attempts to begin the season. Pinegar has been streaky, oftentimes going on a bad stretch with several misses, only to turn things around with a hot streak. Pinegar’s career long is 49 yards, which came on a sloppy field against Iowa back in 2018. It will likely remain his career-long, as Jordan Stout takes over for field goal attempts of 50 yards or more.
