Catching up with Austin MacGinnis: Free Training Sessions, NFL Aspirations and Life as UK’s All-Time Leading Scorer

The former University of Kentucky placekicker that holds the school’s all-time scoring record is searching for an NFL home. After competing in the Chicago Bears’ three-day mini-camp, he has returned to Lexington. While waiting for a call from the NFL, he’s working a bank job and training twice a day. Beginning next weekend he’ll assume a new role as a mentor for aspiring kickers in the community.

Over the next two months MacGinnis will hold two-hour training sessions for specialists at Frederick Douglass High School. To give everyone a chance to work on their craft, or for those who want to try kicking for the first time, the first session is free.
