Alex Rinella’s leg has been a dependable weapon for WKU
In the 2018 season, Western Kentucky kicker Alex Rinella hit 7 of 10 field goals and was perfect on extra points, while also handling kickoffs with a 59.2-yard gross average and 13 touchbacks—useful numbers for a specialist who can flip field position[2][8]. His differentiator is versatility: he has contributed as a kicker, kickoff specialist, and even punted in games, giving WKU roster flexibility and a steady, experienced presence[2][6]. If you want a calm, multi-role special-teams piece with proven college production, he’s a sensible fit, especially for a team valuing reliability over flash[2][14].
