Jake Moody, Michigan

Jake Moody is going to be a name that any team looking for a kicker will likely look at after his performance in this year's East-West Shrine Game in which he accounted for all of the points for the West squad, making four field goals, including two from 51 yards.

Coming from one of the top schools in the nation, Moody kicked at Michigan for five seasons and played in 41 games for the Wolverines where he was wildly accurate. Moody made all 148 of his career extra-point attempts while converting on 82.1 percent of his career field goals.

Only two kickers, Jeff Budzien and Keith Duncan, had higher career percentages in the history of the Big 10 Conference.

Moody, unlike many kickers, will likely have a draftable grade so any team looking for an upgrade at kicker will potentially give him a look in the later rounds of April's selection process.

Moody led the nation with 29 made field goals in 2022 and he won the Lou Groza Award in 2021, joining Mike Nugent and Brad Craddock as the only kickers to ever win that award while kicking in the Big 10.

Moody will be a name to watch if the Broncos are considering moving on from McManus.
