Giants Sign Michigan Kicker Zvada

Michigan Wolverines kicker Dominic Zvada has been signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent following the 2026 NFL Draft. Zvada, originally from Chandler, Arizona, transferred to Michigan for the 2024 season. During his junior year, he achieved a record-breaking performance, winning the Bakken-Andersen Big Ten Kicker of the Year award with a 95.5% field goal conversion rate. He also set Michigan records by making all seven of his attempts from beyond 50 yards. Notably, he made a 54-yard field goal against Ohio State and scored 12 points in the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl versus Alabama. His senior season in 2025 saw a dip in consistency, converting 17 of 25 field goals, though he did match his career-long of 56 yards and made clutch kicks, including a game-winner at Wrigley Field.

Despite the inconsistencies in his final college year, Zvada demonstrated significant leg strength and clutch performance. He earned Walter Camp Preseason All-American honors in 2025. While his mid-range and shorter kicks showed less reliability, his success rate from 50 yards and beyond remained strong. Mel Kiper had projected him as the third kicker in his positional rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft. If Zvada can recapture his 2024 form, he has a strong chance to secure a spot on an NFL roster.
