re: No Kickers In this Class?

From what I understand, LSU will not be adding any more scholarship players to this year’s class. The Tigers did, however, add another kicker to the team in Alex Kjellsten of St. Louis in Lake Charles. According to reports, Kjellsten will be a preferred walk-on, which is someone who has the same benefits as a scholarship player except that he is not on scholarship and has to pay his own way. A regular walk-on does not enjoy any special benefits such as eating with the players and living in the players' dorm. Kjellsten, who is only 5'8, 140, made first team Class 4A All-State in 2012 as a place-kicker after making 7 of 10 field goals, including a 52-yarder. He also punted 37 times for a 42-yard average and landed nine punts inside the 20-yard line.
