Packers Select Kicker Trey Smack in the 6th round

Trey Smack has a big, strong leg and has shown that he can boot the ball.

Smack has served as the Gators’ primary kicker since 2023.

Throughout his time at Florida he has been very constant in his ability to make kicks.

He’s made 53 of his 64 career field goal attempts (82.8 percent)

Smack also made 14 of 19 from 40-49 yards and 10 of 13 from 50 or longer.

His career long is 56 yards.

Furthermore he has made 100/101 extra points in his career and has only one blocked kick.

Last season he earned third team All-SEC honors.

He also was runner up for the best kicker in the nation, also known as the Lou Garza Award.

Stregnths and Weakness

Some of Smacks strengths include:

– Consistent ball-striker with good lift and placement.

– Capable as an emergency punter if needed.

– Good size with ability to cover and tackle on kickoffs.

Some of his weaknesses include:

• – High percentage of misses were off the right hash

• – He has missed one game winning feild goal a 47- yarder against Tennessee in 2024.

– Missed three field goals in the first game of 2025, including 39- and 40-yard tries.

Team fit

Trey Smack will join Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik as the kickers on the Packers roster.

This means that the hot seat for McManus is heating up.

After an inconsistent year for McManus filled with missed fields goals and extra point the Packers look to bring in competition for him.

Havrisik and Smack will bring more competition for McManus.

Already with the franchise record for the Packers Havrisik will surely have a shot at the job.

But with the Packers trading up to get Smack, it shows the Packers see something in Smack.

Also with New special teams coordinator Cameron Achord in place, he may have a preference in who he wants as a kicker.

It will be an interesting summer and training camp to see who will come out as the kicker at the end.

Furthermore this will definitely a competition to watch for this offseason.
