Jake Moody
Jake Moody (born November 23, 1999) is an American professional football kicker for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). Moody played college football for the Michigan Wolverines, where he won the 2021 Lou Groza Award. He was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft and has also played for the Chicago Bears.
Moody attended Northville High School in Northville, Michigan, and played football and baseball there.
Moody committed to the University of Michigan in February 2018. He initially committed without a scholarship but was put on scholarship in June 2018. As a true freshman in 2018, Moody set a Wolverines' single-game record with six field goals in a 31–20 victory over Indiana. In April 2020, he set a personal record in practice with a 69-yard field goal.
As a senior in 2021, Moody successfully converted 22 of 24 field goal attempts and 56 of 56 extra-point kicks. He also kicked a game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter against Nebraska on October 9. Moody's 122 points led the 2021 Michigan Wolverines football team in scoring. He was named the 2021 Bakken–Andersen Big Ten Kicker of the Year and Lou Groza Award winner.
Moody returned for a fifth season in 2022, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted due to the 2020 season being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He went 5-for-5 on field goals, including a career-long 54-yard kick, against Michigan State on October 29, 2022. With four field goals against Illinois on November 19, 2022, including the game-winner with nine seconds left, Moody became the Michigan career field goal leader, with 65, passing Garrett Rivas, and tied Remy Hamilton's single-season mark of 25.
For the 2022 regular season, Moody converted 26-of-32 field goal attempts for an average of 81.25%. He also converted 53 of 53 on extra points. He also led Michigan with 131 points scored. With Moody's field goal in the second quarter during the 2022 Fiesta Bowl, he broke Desmond Howard's single-season scoring record (138 points) set in 1991, and finished with 147 points during the season. Moody finished his career with 355 points, setting a new all-time Michigan scoring record, surpassing the previous record of 354 points set by Garrett Rivas. He also set the program record for longest field goal made at 59-yards, surpassing the previous record of 57-yards held by Quinn Nordin and Hayden Epstein.
Moody was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round (99th overall) of the 2023 NFL draft, making him just the second kicker to be selected within the top 100 picks in the last 15 drafts (along with Roberto Aguayo in 2016), and only the fifth kicker since 2000 to be selected in the first three rounds. Moody and Michigan teammate Brad Robbins became the second punter and kicker tandem to be taken in the same draft in the last 40 years. Moody was the first of three kickers drafted in the 2023 draft, followed by Chad Ryland and Anders Carlson.
Despite having been injured in the final preseason game, Moody was cleared as the starting kicker for the season-opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He finished the 30–7 road victory converting all three field goal attempts and all three extra point attempts. This made Moody the first rookie kicker since Justin Tucker in 2012 to go 3-for-3 or better on extra points and field goal attempts in a season opener. In the next game against the Los Angeles Rams, Moody again made all three field goal attempts and all three extra point attempts during the 30–23 road victory, including a 57-yard field goal, which was the longest successful field goal by a rookie kicker in franchise history.
