The tradition of “Kicker U” is alive and well at Auburn University.
Hugh Freeze has signed his future kicker in [autotag]Towns McGough[/autotag], a three-star kicker from Auburn High School.
McGough earned All-American honors from both MaxPreps and Under Armour, and he competed in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game alongside fellow Auburn signees [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag], [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], and [autotag]Kaleb Harris[/autotag].
He chose a preferred walk-on offer from Auburn over a scholarship to Ole Miss. According to Auburn Undercover, an NIL deal from Auburn is expected to offset the cost of the lack of scholarship. His signing is expected to keep Auburn’s lineage of accurate kickers intact.
McGough was Auburn High’s leading scorer this season securing 105 points. He was 19-of-22 on field goal attempts and connected on six kicks of over 50 yards, including one of 60 yards.
