Multi-Talented Specialist: Kjellsten Brings Elite Punting Pedigree to LSU
Alex Kjellsten is a Lake Charles native now competing as a freshman placekicker at LSU after an exceptional career at McNeese State. The 5'8" specialist earned Hero Sports All-America honors in 2018 following a record-breaking senior season where he averaged 43.81 yards per punt (7th nationally) and set single-game and career punting records. Known for consistency and versatility—he's handled both kicking and punting duties—Kjellsten brings proven FCS-level performance and the mental toughness of a multi-sport contributor. His ability to excel in high-pressure situations and execute at elite efficiency makes him a valuable depth piece for a Power program.
