As the program’s all-time scoring leader, Reichard has given Nick Saban a dependable specialist. His football life has been a success, but Reichard’s personal life has joined it. He married his high school sweetheart, Amelia Auchmuty, on Saturday.

Reichard and Auchmuty both are alums of Hoover (Ala.) High School and the University of Alabama. Reichard is in graduate school at Alabama and is trying for his master’s degree. He looks to guide the Tide to a College Football Playoff National Championship next fall and win the Lou Groza Award. Reichard opened the year fulfilling a dream and fans are happy for him.
