Alabama Kicker Battle Finally Settled | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s kicker battle is officially over: Conor Talty takes over field goals and extra points, while Lorcan Quinn locks in as the kickoff specialist. Talty, a highly-touted recruit who waited behind Will Reichard and Graham Nicholson, finally got his shot last season, going 16-of-23 on field goals and perfect on extra points — finishing strong after a rough patch. Quinn, a Gaelic football transfer from Ireland, brought leg strength and maturity, earning All-Conference honors at Marshall and nailing two 47-yarders at A-Day. Coach DeBoer praised both for their resilience and competition, knowing kickers thrive on how they bounce back. Talty, a senior, likely plays his final season; Quinn, a sophomore, could be the long-term answer for Alabama’s kicking unit.
