The New York Jets signed UFL standout Harrison Mevis and released fellow kicker Anders Carlson on Wednesday.

Mevis, 23, played for the Birmingham Stallions in 2025 and made 20 of 21 field goals, with a long of 56 yards.

Dubbed the “Thiccer Kicker” for his burly frame, Mevis set the school record at Missouri with 405 career points.

The 5-foot-11, 243-pound All-American made 84.0 percent (89 of 106) of his field goals and 148 of 149 PATs for the Tigers from 2020-23.

His career-long 61-yard field goal as time expired gave Mizzou a 30-27 upset of No. 15 Kansas State in 2023.

Mevis signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in May 2024 but was waived in August.

Carlson, 27, kicked in five games for the Jets in 2024 and made 8 of 10 field goals and 9 of 11 extra points.

A sixth-round pick by Green Bay in 2023, Carlson has converted 40 of 48 field goals and 46 of 54 PATs in 24 career games with the Packers, San Francisco 49ers (2024) and Jets.
