Aidan Burgess brings steady leg talent to Western Illinois
Aidan Burgess is a sophomore placekicker for Western Illinois in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, and he appeared in 10 games during the 2025 season[1]. The biggest reason to care: he already has game experience, which matters for specialists, and his profile suggests a reliable, physically mature kicker rather than a developmental project[1][2]. There were no widely available 2026 stat details or news items in the sources reviewed, so the best read is that Burgess is a live roster piece with room to grow and a likely fit for a team wanting a kicker who has already handled college reps[1][2].
