Alabama fans are hoping and praying, but it looks promising.
It has not boasted an elite kicker since Jeremy Shelley in 2012; however, the signing of Will Reichard (three-star) from Hoover High School has Crimson Tide fans excited.
Listed at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Reichard is regarded as the nation’s top-rated placekicker from all major recruiting networks. While he possesses exceptional leg strength, his accuracy upon kicking the ball is what Bama nation is banking on. Since the perfect exploits of Shelley (11 for 11) in Saban’s third national title run, the Tide has struggled to find consistency in the kicking game.
