Alabama kicker Will Reichard is this week's SEC Special Teams Player of the Week.

The Hoover, Ala., native won the award for his performance in Alabama's 30-24 win against Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon.

The senior kicked a hat trick of crucial field goals to put the Tide on top of the Rebels. The first was a 39-yard try that tied the ballgame up at 17 in the third quarter. The next two came in the fourth quarter, a 23-yard one to give Alabama its first lead of the game and a 49-yard one with two minutes left in the game to extend the Tide's lead to six.

The six point lead forced Ole Miss to score a touchdown, instead of a field goal attempt, to win or send the game into the overtime. The Rebels got into the red zone on its last drive of the game,  but two incompletions, a sack, and a quarterback run for no gain forced a turnover on downs and sealed the Crimson Tide win.

He was also a perfect 3-for-3 in extra points kicked.

Reichard joins Byron Young in receiving conference honors this week as Young won SEC Co-Defensive Lineman Player of the Week.

Alabama hosts Austin Peay on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at 11 a.m. CT. Coverage will be on Tide 100.9 and 95.3. The Bear.
