Twitter reacts to Auburn landing Alex McPherson

Auburn landed its next kicker … and the last name isn’t Carlson.

Alex McPherson sealed the future of the kicker position for Auburn football Tuesday night after he announced via social media that he will be joining Bryan Harsin’s program.

The Auburn fanbase was excited by the news. Anytime a school picks up the number one player in a recruiting class it becomes a big deal. The Tigers have been able to rely on solid kicking for years, specifically, Auburn has been able to rely on a kicker with the last name Carlson. Both Daniel and Anders Carlson have been a constant on Auburn’s special teams since Daniel took the field in 2014. McPherson, the Fort Payne (Ala.) standout is ready to take the reigns on The Plains.

Twitter was buzzing in response to McPherson’s announcement.
