Gabriel Goroyan

Gabriel Goroyan is one of the most physically gifted kickers in the country. His leg strength is truly elite, capable of producing distance that few high school specialists—and even many collegiate kickers—can match. Simply put, there are very few footballs struck in America with the combination of power and trajectory that Goroyan generates. As a field goal kicker, Goroyan produces effortless range through outstanding lower-body explosion and natural leg speed. His ability to strike footballs from 75 yards in training is a testament to the raw power he possesses. More importantly, that power translates to game situations, where he consistently creates excellent lift while maintaining clean rotation and impressive accuracy. His kickoff ability is among the nation’s elite. Averaging 70-plus yards per kickoff while recording 58 touchbacks in 65 attempts, Goroyan consistently flips field position. His verified kicks of 91 yards (4.3 hang) and 89 yards (4.3 hang) demonstrate that he already possesses NFL-caliber leg strength, making him one of the most dangerous kickoff specialists in the country. Selected to kick in the prestigious Navy All-American Bowl, Goroyan has continued to validate his standing among the nation’s elite specialists. His ability to perform alongside the country’s top talent further reinforces what his film and measurable data have consistently shown. What makes Goroyan especially exciting is the combination of physical talent and long-term projection. His powerful left leg, natural athleticism, and ability to effortlessly drive the football downfield remind KT Recruiting of a left-footed Cameron Little. While every player’s path is unique, Goroyan displays many of the same explosive physical traits, elite leg strength, and advanced ball-striking ability that made Little one of the nation’s top kicking prospects before reaching the NFL. KT Recruiting Evaluation Stanford landed one of the biggest difference-makers in the 2027 recruiting cycle. Goroyan has every measurable trait coaches covet—elite leg strength, outstanding kickoff ability, proven game production, All-American recognition, and the academic profile to thrive at one of the nation’s premier universities. We believe he has all the tools to become Stanford’s next NFL specialist following the path established by Joshua Karty. His rare power, effortless ball striking, and tremendous upside make him one of the premier kicking prospects in America, and we expect him to develop into one of college football’s elite specialists with legitimate NFL Draft potential.
