Aaron Ortega gives Panhandle State a steady leg and early scoring punch
In the 2026 season, Aaron Ortega has already shown value as a kicker with a 42-yard field goal and multiple strong kickoffs in Panhandle State’s opener against Incarnate Word, plus a 42-yard make versus Mayville State, signaling a reliable range and enough leg strength to matter on both field goals and field position. The appeal here is simple: he brings special-teams versatility, clutch scoring when drives stall, and a profile that suggests trust in pressure moments. If you need a kicker who can handle real game reps and help flip field position, Ortega is worth a look.
