The highest-scoring player in FBS history, Will Reichard, is joining the Minnesota Vikings after being selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Reichard, a former Alabama star, was the first kicker taken in the draft. The Vikings had a pressing need for a kicker after letting Greg Joseph go in free agency and only having one unproven kicker on their roster.
Reichard, known for his accuracy and record-breaking career at Alabama, will compete with John Parker Romo for the kicking job in Minnesota. The Vikings hope Reichard's college success will translate to the NFL as they aim to solidify their special teams.
