Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked kicker, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Marco Peery's strongest measure is made from 40+ at 3, 71st of 143 (the average is 4). His weakest is field goals over expected at -0.11, 122nd of 143 (the average is +0.03).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His made from 40+, 3, ranks 71st among 143 ranked kickers.
Against every kicker
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked kickers he sits, on average, in the 35th percentile for volume and 15th for efficiency.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 7 games, Marco Peery's best came in week 3 against Hampton and his quietest in week 6 against a non-Division I team.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every kicker on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Marco Peery is 81st of 118 FCS kickers and 4th of 5 in the MEAC. Next up nationally is Kenyon Bowyer of Alcorn State, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Kickers like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Clune Van Andel of Arkansas State.
