Will Reichard is one of the most decorative kickers in Alabama football and Southeastern Conference history.
He won Special Teams Player of the Year for the SEC and made first-team All-SEC as a kicker. Reichard, a Hoover (Ala.) native, is a finalist for the Lou Groza Award, which goes to the nation’s top placekicker. He could become the first player in University of Alabama history to win the honor. Reichard became the NCAA’s career points leader (539) in the SEC Championship Game against Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He’s made 82 field goals and 293 extra-point attempts in his five-year career.
