Veteran Gamecocks kicker with a steady leg and real SEC-level pressure reps
Alex Herrera’s value is his experience: in the 2024 season, he handled South Carolina’s kicking duties, converting 15 of 21 field goals and all 45 extra points, while also kicking off 72 times. He’s a Columbia native and former walk-on who earned a scholarship, which hints at toughness, patience, and buy-in. The upside is dependable short-to-midrange kicking and versatility; the concern is consistency under pressure, especially from longer range. If you want a seasoned specialist who’s been through the grind, he’s your guy.
