It’s about to be a busy season for UFL to NFL Signings. According to NFL Draft Diamonds, Harrison Mevis is signing with the New York Jets, after a successful season in the UFL with the Birmingham Stallions.
Harrison Mevis, also known as “The Thiccer Kicker”, continues the trend of kickers who have gone from spring football back to the NFL. Mevis had a tremendous season with Birmingham, hitting 20 of his 21 attempts as the Stallions won the USFL Conference in the regular season, with a record of 7-3.
Birmingham is no stranger to UFL to NFL signings from their specialist group. Two years ago, Brandon Aubrey signed with the Dallas Cowboys – and has since been one of the NFL’s top kickers. Last year, it was Jake Bates who made his way from the Michigan Panthers, to stardom in the NFL with the Detroit Lions.
Harrison had an NFL opportunity with the Carolina Panthers last year, kicking in one game – making a 41 yard field goal attempt.
He was then picked up by the UFL’s Stallions, back when Zach Potter was the GM. As previously mentioned, Mevis was on fire this year – including going 5-6 from 50+ yards out. His only miss was from 63 yards. Additionally, Mevis averaged 64.9 yards on kickoff attempts.

With his big leg, and the lack of competition in camp between Andres Carlson and Caden Davis (a rookie), don’t be surprised if Harrison ends up making his way onto the 53 man roster in New York. As long as he kicks consistently like he did in Birmingham, the sky’s the limit for what he’s capable of with the Jets.
