STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford's Joshua Karty will hold his Pro Day on Thursday, March 21 at 2:00 pm on the Stanford football turf practice field.
Arguably the best kicker in the country, Karty wrapped up a stellar Cardinal career in 2023 by going 23-27 on field goals, the most field goals made in a single season at Stanford. In 2022, Karty did not miss a field goal, and drilled a 61-yarder during Big Game, the longest field goal in Stanford history. For his career, he owns the Stanford program record for career field goal percentage at 85.0%.
Karty shined the longer the distance on kicks. Over his last two seasons at Stanford, he went 17-17 on field goals between 40-49 yards, and 7-10 on field goals over 50 yards. In his final game inside Stanford Stadium, he made a 56-yard field goal, the second longest in stadium history.

The Burlington, North Carolina native racked up numerous awards over the course of his career, including two-time All Pac-12 First Team honors, and First Team All-America honors from Sporting News (2022) and The Athletic (2023). Karty was also a finalist for the 2022 Lou Groza Award, given to the best kicker in the country, and was a semifinalist in 2023.
Media will be allowed entry beginning at 1:00 pm at the field entrance nearest the Varsity Field Hockey Turf.
Karty is attempting to become the first Stanford kicker drafted since Ken Naber was selected by the New England Patriots in the eighth round of the 1981 NFL Draft. This year's draft takes place on April 25-27 in Detroit, Michigan.
