Rams have signed kicker Harrison Mevis to the practice squad

Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate
The #Rams are signing K Harrison Mevis — a.k.a. “The Thiccer Kicker” — who stands 6’0″, 242 lbs. He went 20-of-21 on field goals with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions.

Appropriately, Harrison Mevis specializes in power: Most field goals of 50+ yards in Mizzou history, including the longest field goal in SEC history at 61 yards.

He was 20 of 21 in the UFL last year, including 13 of 14 from 40+ yards.

The 2024 UDFA has yet to kick in the NFL.

WV and I were there when it happened. That’s me with the umbrella.

Karty may be a little slow, but the right side of the line is going 4 against 6. Why? And the RT ends up being useless, just sticking out his arm. It’s also interesting to watch the lack of effort on both sides of the ball on the left side. pic.twitter.com/MRD1pCSbnt

Sean McVay said Harrison Mevis will be the team’s kicker this week and Jake McQuaide will be the long snapper.

Hey #Rams fans, this is what K Harrison Mevis is capable of on a daily basis:pic.twitter.com/coXOIlKvlZ

Ethan Evans is handling kickoffs again. Harrison Mevis will be limited to field goals and extra points.

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Sean McVay has already said Joshua Karty is “not going anywhere” and “he’ll be on the roster” despite being benched.

The Rams can only elevate Harrison Mevis from the PS for 2 more games. After that, they have to make a decision.
