Alabama is well-versed in the kicking position, and they recently welcomed Will Reichard, one of the greatest kickers in college football history.
With the most points in a college football career last season, Reichard broke the NCAA lifetime point record. The Minnesota Vikings selected him in the sixth round of the draft.

Alabama needs to find a new kicker who can lead the team in big games over the next few seasons now that Reichard will be playing on Sundays. It looks like the Crimson Tide may have found their guy.

More games will come down to the wire as the college football playoffs increase to 12 teams, so having a quality kicker is essential. Notaro needs to prepare for kicks in difficult conditions when he arrives on campus the next year.
The good news is that Notaro already possesses a strong leg. He was shown kicking a 65-yard field goal in a video that went popular on social media on Monday.
Notaro doesn’t have any equipment on, isn’t facing any defense, and there isn’t even a snapper or holder in the video, but it’s heartening to see that he can make a successful kick from 65 yards out. Notaro has one more year of high school football left before heading to college, so he has time to grow. Who knows, maybe next July he’ll be hitting from 70 yards out? Not many high school kickers can even make a 40-yard field goal.
