steady leg, early-season wobble, and still a usable weapon for Richmond
In the 2026 season, Richmond freshman kicker Kyle Bitsko has already shown he can help swing games, converting 5 extra points in the opener against Bucknell and adding 2 more in the following game, but he also missed his lone field-goal try versus Howard. That’s the classic kicker profile: enough leg to matter, but still ironing out consistency. The appeal is the upside—he’s a young local specialist with game experience early, which can grow fast if the operation tightens up. If you want reliability right now, he’s still developing; if you want a kicker with runway, Bitsko is interesting.
