Ian Vachon is giving North Alabama a real weapon from deep
In the 2025 season, Vachon flashed legit FCS-impact upside for North Alabama, going 7-for-10 on field goals with a long of 55 yards and hitting all four of his extra points in one standout game, plus multiple kickoffs that flipped field position. The big differentiator is range: a 55-yarder is no fluke, and his 2024 Auburn line showed he could already handle high-pressure kicks (6-for-8 on field goals, 11-for-11 on PATs). He looks like a steady, confidence-heavy specialist with strong leg talent—exactly the kind of kicker a program trusts late.
