Emerging Kickout Specialist for Alabama A&M with Proven Grit
Austin McCready, a 6'1", 195-lb junior placekicker from New Orleans, brings a rare blend of size and reliability to Alabama A&M's special teams after playing four seasons across Alabama A&M, Louisiana Tech, and Memphis. Though his official career stats show just 1-for-2 on field goals and 0-for-0 on extra points (3 total points) in recorded games [3], his physical profile and multi-school experience signal strong adaptability and resilience—traits that matter when kickers face pressure in tight games. McCready's intensity and steady demeanor under fire make him a low-risk, high-upside fit for teams needing a kicker who can handle long snaps and maintain composure. While he hasn't yet posted elite statistical dominance, his journey through three programs suggests he's a developmental asset with room to grow into a consistent scorer.
