College
While at Lafayette, Kirkleski was known as a hard-hitting back. He played all four of his college years as a varsity halfback. During his freshman season, he shocked Lafayette's archrival, Lehigh University, with a touchdown run that gave the Leopards a 13-3 last-minute victory in 1923. Lehigh would only score three points in Kirkleski's four years at Lafayette. In his sophomore year, he helped guide Lafayette to a 7-2 record. He was named the team's captain during his senior year. It was then that he helped the Leopards capture their third National Championship with a 9-0 record. He received second and third team All American honors from the New York Telegraph and The New York World in 1926. He was later inducted into the school's Maroon Club Hall Of Fame in 2001.
