Aidan O’Neill brings big-leg potential and freshman upside to Kansas State’s kicking game
In the 2026 season, Aidan O’Neill is a freshman kicker at Kansas State with a strong recruiting profile, ranked No. 29 nationally among kickers in his class and built on proven high-school production: 13-of-20 on field goals, 85-of-89 on extra points, and 101 career touchbacks. His calling card is leg strength and kickoff value, plus he arrives as a two-time all-state performer with upside for development. If you want a young specialist with range and room to grow, he’s a legit fit; if you need instant, polished consistency, he’s still a projection.
