Former Kentucky Wildcats kicker is getting his chance to break into the NFL, having been invited to participate in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ rookie minicamp this weekend.
He came to Kentucky after transferring from Georgia Southern, established himself as one of the nation’s most reliable kickers over two seasons in Lexington. He made 25 of 27 field goal attempts, achieving a 92.6% success rate—a mark that set both school and SEC records. He was flawless from 40-49 yards and set another program record with 18 consecutive made field goals.]
One of his standout performances came last fall against top-ranked Georgia, where he drilled four field goals, including a school-record 55-yarder, earning SEC Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

Raynor is joining the Bucs as an undrafted free agent for a tryout. A strong showing could secure him a spot on the roster or attract attention from another NFL team in search of a dependable kicker. His college résumé has firmly positioned him for a potential jump to the professional level.
