Will Reichard ...

There's been a lot of volatility in the last few weeks. All about Saban leaving, DeBoer coming in and portal transfers... But are we forgetting the rock solid kicker we are losing? I don't know who replaces him? I don't know who else has kicked FGs - in years. It was nice knowing that after a TD I could get up... Go to the restroom, grab a bite because Will was going to absolutely split the uprights with a 2" deviation. Will absolutely shut down the jokes about Bama fans during a FG. He's going to be hard to replace ( yes he missed a couple in 22... But overall I would give WR an A+ )

Conor Talty.
He might also be able to play Safety depending on how the roster shakes out

I mean he's no Andy Pappanastos, but remember when he went 100% (98-for-98) on the FGs and XPs he made that year we won the national championship, including a career long against Georgia?

Guy was solid. Hopefully, Talty can pick up where he left off.

Dude is a legend in my mind. MOst points scored in NCAA history. HISTORY!

If he gets drafted, then Saban would have a player from every position get drafted. Including kicker, punter and snapper.

Amarillo Tide, I swear I'm not picking on you, but this is funny to me. Will Reichard scored more points than ANYONE in NCAA history. One could argue that makes him the best ever to play the position.
At Alabama, that earns you the label "solid."

Crazy thing is if he had been injured one game sooner in 2019 he would have one more year of eligibility.

He had a career field goal percentage of 84%. As a reference for how good that is, Adam Vinatieri was 83.8%, and NFL kicking is easier due to the tight hash marks.

I meant that from the standpoint he was consistent/dependable like clockwork. Not many kickers can say that.

I can assure you Rick Karle hasn’t forgotten.
