Tigers met with the media in Dallas on Thursday
Below is an edited Q&A between Freeze and reporters, compiled by ASAP Sports and distributed by the SEC office:
Q. Coach, your starting kicker, Alex McPherson is popular in our neck of the woods. After spending an entire season with him now, what can you tell us about what makes him so special and what you have seen development-wise from him over the past year. HUGH FREEZE: I do. That’s a great question. I’ve had some really really great receivers. And I think of Laquon Treadwell. He came in and just fit naturally. Caught 75 balls as a freshman. And obviously still in the NFL. We’ve signed some others that, you know, are in the NFL now but we red-shirted. They weren’t quite ready.
Q. Coach, Jaylin Simpson was a big part of what you all were doing from a secondary standpoint. Who has replaced him as one of the leaders, particularly vocally in that second area? HUGH FREEZE: We want to win in the state in recruiting. Whether it’s Mobile or in the Columbus area or Birmingham area, we want to win our share of battles in our state. So it’s vital that we were able to get those two. And those were two tough battles. For a kicker, that was a tough battle. Receivers you were used to that. That speaks to how the talent can be. Transition, I think just getting more comfortable.
