It's now been a full calendar year since Alex McPherson has missed a kick, setting an Auburn record in the process of the Tigers’ 48-10 win over Arkansas.
The freshman from Fort Payne, Alabama missed the first attempt of his career back on November 12, 2022, but since then has made 17 straight field goal attempts. That’s one more than the mark set by Daniel Carlson, the only three-time finalist in the history of the Lou Groza Award.
Against Arkansas, McPherson was true from 39 and 31 and added six PATs for a 12-point game that ties for the most of any of the semifinalists this week. At 11-for-11 on field goals this year, he remains one of three FBS kickers yet to miss.
