Alabama’s steady, clutch-leg kicker from the 2000-01 era
In the 2000-01 seasons, Neal Thomas was a reliable Alabama kicker, converting 24 of 34 field goals (70.6%) and 60 of 61 extra points (98.4%), with enough range to hit a 50-yard field goal against Tennessee in 2000. He stands out less as a flashy weapon and more as a steadiness-first specialist: dependable on PATs, capable from distance, and the kind of kicker who helps a team survive tight SEC games. If you want calm, proven special-teams value, he fits.
