Aeron Burrell brings SEC-level leg strength, but his LSU path is in flux
Aeron Burrell arrived at LSU as one of the nation’s top kicking prospects and immediately flashed a huge leg, leading the SEC in kickoff average in the 2024 season at 64.78 yards and earning second-team All-SEC plus Freshman All-SEC honors. In the 2025 season, his kickoffs were still solid but less dominant, with 45 touchbacks on 66 kickoffs, and reports in early 2026 indicated he entered the transfer portal. If you want a special-teams weapon with proven power and big-time pedigree, he’s intriguing; if you need a settled, ready-made starter right now, the uncertainty matters.
