Texas Tech football kicker Trey Wolff was one of college football's comeback players of the year last season. Now he's going into the NFL as an undrafted free agent, agreeing to terms with the Tennessee Titans on Saturday.

Wolff is the only kicker in Texas Tech history to make at least 20 field goals in more than one season, but he had to redeem himself to get there. A walk-on from the Houston suburb of Klein, Wolff hit 20 of 22 field goals as a redshirt freshman in 2019 and ended his career by converting 21 of 25 as a fifth-year senior in 2022.

In between, he started a disastrous 1 for 5 in 2020, which cost him the job for the next season and half. Jonathan Garibay seized the opportunity and made four late game-winning field goals over a 13-game span in 2020 and 2021. Among them was a school-record 62-yarder as time expired against Iowa State.

Upon Garibay's departure, Wolff got back on track and ended with one of the best seasons ever by a Tech kicker, prompting him to forego the Covid-bonus year he could have used for 2023.

Texas Tech football kicker Trey Wolff: The positives

Who made more pressure-packed kicks than Wolff last season? It can't be a long list.

Texas Tech beat Houston, Texas and Oklahoma in overtime. In those games, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound senior made field goals near the end of regulation against Houston (47 yards with 3 seconds left), Texas (45 yards with 21 seconds left) and Oklahoma (43 yards with three seconds left), then the game winners in OT against Texas (20 yards) and Oklahoma (35 yards).

Wolff showed a strong psyche not only within those games, but in his personal bounce-back from the mid-career meltdown.

He capped the season by going 3 for 3 in Tech's 42-25 upset of Mississippi in the Texas Bowl.

Besides handling placements, he also was the Red Raiders' primary kickoff specialist the past four years.

The concerns

Wolff finished fifth in Texas Tech history for field goals made (42), but a good portion of those kicks were from inside 40 yards, where he was 28 for 31. He went 9 for 15 between 40 and 49 yards and was only called on to attempt two kicks of 50-plus in his career. He made both, from 51 yards.

During Texas Tech's on-campus pro day, Wolff missed one and made one from 58 yards and then converted one from 60 yards. The setting was indoors, on turf, with no rush and no screaming crowd, but still ... he was good from 60 yards.

Final thoughts

Wolff is trying to get one of 32 jobs and, like most NFL rookie kickers, having to do it the hard way. He's not a heralded guy. The fact he's spent four seasons learning how to stay levelheaded after a lot of highs and mettle-testing lows should serve him well, however.
