He earned the status of all-time leader for points in school history during the Crimson Tide’s matchup against LSU. Reichard stood at 388 career points, despite the Tide taking a 31-32 loss in overtime. He has scored more since Nov. 8 at Tiger Stadium as Reichard finished the regular season making 21 of 25 field goals (84 percent) and all 58 of his PAT attempts. He accepted his invitation to the Reese’s Senior Bowl and confirmed the news to reporters Tuesday in New Orleans that he will turn pro.
