Overview

  • The Jets officially added Mevis to their active roster on June 18 and relinquished veteran Anders Carlson’s spot.
  • Mevis converted 20 of 21 field goal attempts for the Birmingham Stallions in 2025, missing only a 63-yard try.
  • During his tenure at Missouri, Mevis set an SEC record with a 61-yard game-winning field goal against Kansas State.
  • New coach Aaron Glenn has overhauled special teams following a 2024 campaign that saw five kickers make just 20 of 28 field goals.
  • Mevis’s signing continues the UFL-to-NFL pipeline of kickers, joining talents like Brandon Aubrey and Jake Bates.
