Chase McGrath - SEC Special Teams Player of the Week

SPECIAL TEAMS

Chase McGrath, PK, Tennessee

• McGrath drilled 4-of-5 field goals and converted all four of his extra points in a stellar special teams effort as No. 8 Tennessee beat No. 25 LSU for the first time since 2005 by a score of 40-13.
• The four made field goals tied for the fifth-most in a game in school history and the most by a Vol since 2015. McGrath connected on three first-half field goals that allowed the Vols to seize momentum, including a 32-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.
• He made a pair of 32-yarders, a 35-yarder and a 38-yarder.
• His 16 total points was one shy of a school single-game record for points by a kicker.
• McGrath is now 8-of-10 on field goals on the year and 28-of-28 on PATs.

I think his most impressive kick Saturday was the miss. 3” left and that looked good from 60-65. Glad he’s getting some recognition. He’s been phenomenal for us

Was going to say the same thing. That hit high on the upright.

Lucky to have him, his missed kick would have been good from 60 east. Kid will have a great pro career.

Amazing portal pickup for the Vols

This guy doesn’t get near enough love, especially considering how iffy our kickers had been for years before he got here.

He also played a hand in getting Bru McCoy to consider playing here.
