BYU Cougars Kicker Will Ferrin Isn’t Just Clutch, He’s Automatic

SALT LAKE CITY – BYU kicker Will Ferrin stepped up to the plate and delivered time after time when the Cougars needed him in 2024.

Head coach Kalani Sitake had seemingly endless praise for Ferrin, highlighting his consistency and clutch gene.

“Will Ferrin is one of the most clutch individuals I’ve ever met,” Sitake said. “He enjoys every moment. Every time there’s a clutch kick, he is embracing the opportunity that he’s in, and he’s excited about it. You just don’t have a lot of guys like him. He’s got ice in his veins. I know people say that often but you can see it in him. He loves being around his teammates and he’s been such a great leader for us. I’m really grateful that he’s our kicker, he’s an automatic guy.”

Ferrin was not ranked on our 60 in 60 list last season.
