On May 24, 1990, Kilgore was born in Rocklin, California.[1] After graduating from Jesuit High School, Kilgore went to Bakersfield College in 2009. At Bakersfield, he threw for 2,512 yards and 22 touchdowns. Kilgore was named the Northern Conference Offensive Player of the Year at Bakersfield College in 2009.[2] He then transferred to Middle Tennessee in 2010, where he began playing for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders football team.[3]
During his time with the Blue Raiders from 2010 to 2013, Kilgore was the first Blue Raider to have accumulated 2,000 yards in three back to back seasons.[4] At the 2013 Armed Forces Bowl, Kilgore and Middle Tennessee were defeated by the Navy Midshipmen.[5] As a passer, Kilgore had 53 touchdowns and 7,489 passing yards during his career.[6] With his combined statistics, Kilgore had a total of 8,059 offensive yards and 57 touchdowns.[7] Kilgore held the passing yards season record for Middle Tennessee from 2011 to 2013.[8]
After going undrafted in the 2014 NFL draft Kilgore was signed to the New Orleans Saints as a free agent in 2014.[9] He played at the Saints's training camp and was cut from the team in September 2014.[6]
Kilgore signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) as was a member of their practice roster for the 2015 season. The following year, Kilgore became the Argos's starting quarterback after Ricky Ray was injured.[10] Kilgore played in seven games, starting three, during the 2016 season, completing 55.3% of his passes for 728 yards and two touchdowns with 10 interceptions.
