Alex McPherson has broken his older brother’s record.
Evan Mcpherson, now the kicker for the Cincinnati Bengals, booted a 60-yard field goal in 2017 to set the AHSAA state record for a field goal that included a snap, hold and kick against pressure.
Alex, who is committed to Auburn, kicked 61-yarder in Fort Payne’s 32-7 win over North Jackson, to break the record and tie Auburn’s Sage Ledbetter for the longest field goal in Alabama high school history. Ledbetter’s kick was a free-kick back in 2015 against Smiths Station.
Alex has now made two of the six longest kicks in Alabama high school history.
