Back to the Alabama Crimson Tide Newsfeed

Alabama’s specialists may be “as good as any across the country,” per HC Kalen DeBoer

Alabama football appreciated everything Will Reichard did in the kicking game for five seasons.

He arrived in the Crimson Tide’s 2019 recruiting class as a three-star from Hoover (Ala.) High School, yet he was arguably one of the most consistent specialists of the Nick Saban era. Reichard is now in the National Football League for the Minnesota Vikings, but Alabama is expected to have a strong kicking game in the fall. James Burnip, Kneeland Hibbett, and Conor Talty are back at punter, long snapper, and kicker from 2023. The Tide also got a kicker from the NCAA transfer portal in Graham Nicholson.
