Source-derived summary

Seth Small (born October 29, 1999) is an American professional football placekicker. He previously played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

College career

Small played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies from 2018 to 2021. In the 2021 season, he converted a game-winning field goal to defeat #1 Alabama 41–38. He played in 46 games where he was successful on 71 of 91 field goal attempts for a 78.0% completion rate and made a career long 52-yard field goal in his freshman year.

Professional career

Following his collegiate career, Small was not selected in the 2021 NFL draft. He attended local camp with the Houston Texans and was invited to mini-camp with the Indianapolis Colts, but he was not offered a contract. He then signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on May 26. Small played in both preseason games where he made all three field goal attempts, including a 51-yard try, but was released with the final cuts on June 5, 2022. After the team's incumbent kicker, Michael Domagala, struggled to begin the 2022 season, Small signed again with the team on July 10.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american gridiron football player (born 1999)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q114466343. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2018, 2021 and 2022.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
