Meet the 2021 Fordham kickers

Bronx, N.Y. - We wrap up our position-by-position breakdown of the 2021 Fordham football Rams today as we meet the kickers.
 
Fordham has four kickers on its roster, but only one with extensive collegiate experience, that being junior Nick Leinenweber, who handled the kicking chores in the spring for the Rams. In the three spring games, the two-time Patriot League Special Teams Player of the Week connected on three of four field goal attempts with a long of 41 yards and was a perfect 12-for-12 on PATs.
 
Other kickers on the 2021 roster are juniors Michael Bernard and John O'Friel, along with sophomore Brandon Peskin.
 
Bernard, who appeared in one game as a freshman, earned 2017 and 2018 First Team All-Conference honors as a punter and kicker at Clayton High School, while O'Friel is a graduate of North Middlesex Regional High School in Townsend, Mass., where he was named a Central Massachusetts All-Star as a senior.
 
Peskin, a Syracuse transfer, was the starting placekicker for four seasons at Half Hollow Hills East High School where he made 23 career field goals, seven as a senior, including a school-record 50-yarder.
