Alex McPherson will kick for the Auburn Tigers.
The nation’s top placekicker announced that he will play for Bryan Harsin’s squad on Tuesday. The Fort Payne (Ala.) phenom appears to be the next in line to join a long run of successful kickers that have played at Auburn. As the Tigers prepare for life after Anders Carlson, McPherson was a priority target in the 2022 class.
Auburn’s next kicker, McPherson, is listed at 5-feet-10, 153 pounds. His older brother, Evan McPherson was a kicker at Florida.
McPherson’s announcement comes at a good time for the Tigers as the fanbase was getting concerned over only having three commits as part of the 2022 class going into Tuesday.
McPherson grew up an Auburn fan and spent the first weekend of the contact period on an official visit last month. He was 10-16 on field goals last season.
