Alex Trlica was Texas Tech’s money kicker in clutch moments
Alex Trlica’s defining trait was **reliability under pressure**: Texas Tech trusted him for game-winning kicks, including a 41-yard walk-off field goal in the Gator Bowl and other late-game winners, while he also showed elite consistency on extra points with 233 straight PATs in his college career.[1][3][7] He’s the kind of kicker who fits a team that values composure, accuracy, and proven clutch performance over flash, though his field-goal percentage shows he was more of a steady situational weapon than a pure power-based standout.[5][6]
