Former Florida State All-American projected to San Francisco 49ers in mock draft

A former Florida State specialist has been projected to go in the seventh round in one of the latest mock drafts from ESPN’s Jordan Reid. The ESPN reporter has an NFC West squad selecting the former Seminole with the 252nd pick.

The Seminoles have produced marquee kicking and punting talent going back to Sebastian Janikowski. Other kickers, such as Dustin Hopkins and Graham Gano, have made their mark in the National Football League throughout the last 15 years.

With the 2025 NFL Draft beginning this week, seven-round mock drafts, such as Reid’s, are taking shape. Reid has former FSU place kicker Ryan Fitzgerald heading to the San Francisco 49ers with the 252nd selection in this year’s draft.

Fitzgerald, a Thomasville, Georgia, native, had two spectacular final seasons with the Florida State football program.

After a shaky start in his first three years with the Seminoles, he made about 65% of his kicks. However, in 2023 and 2024, Fitzgerald only missed three field goal attempts (19-21 in 2023, 13-14 in 2024), making him one of the most efficient kickers in the country.

His lone miss in 2024 was due to a high snap from the FSU long-snapper which led punter Alex Mastromanno to mishandle the ball and resulted in a putrid field goal attempt. The FSU record books do not even count this as a miss for Fitzgerald.

Moreover, the FSU kicker has not missed a kick from 50 yards or longer since the 2022 season. He also made a 59-yarder against Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, to open the season.

The 2025 NFL Draft takes place in Green Bay, Wisconsin from April 24-26.
