Last season and even in a few situations in early games in the 2025 season, the Auburn Tigers have struggled when it comes to the kicking game.
Kicker Alex McPherson missed most of last season due to gastrointestinal problems and a later diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. He has been working hard with the Auburn football staff to regain weight, his strength and his reliability as the Tigers' primary kicker.
While the Tigers have been making it work with former Southern Miss kicker Connor Gibbs, Towns McGough has become a completely unreliable option, and McPherson remains the best and most consistent kicker on the roster.
