Former Kentucky kicker Austin MacGinnis signs with NFL squad
Former Kentucky kicker Austin MacGinnis spent this past season in the XFL with the Dallas Renegades.
However, with the XFL ceasing operations amid the COVID-19 outbreak and filing for bankruptcy on Monday, MacGinnis was on the market for a new job.
He’s in luck, as the Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they had agreed to terms on a contract with MacGinnis:
We’ve agreed to terms with former XFL kicker Austin MacGinnis + former CFL kicker Lirim Hajrullahu.

MacGinnis will join a kicking competition for the Rams this offseason. We’ll see if he can win the job ahead of the 2020 campaign.
MacGinnis went a perfect 10-for-10 on field-goal attempts for the Renegades during the XFL’s brief run.
