Former Kentucky kicker Austin MacGinnis is finally getting his chance.

The Wildcats' all-time leading scorer has signed with the Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football league, the club announced Wednesday.

The most prolific kicker in Kentucky football history, MacGinnis made 51 of 64 field goal attempts and 102 of 104 extra points from 2014 to 2017. He's also one of the most clutch, making a 51-yarder as time expired to beat Mississippi State 40-38 in 2016 and a 47-yard field goal with :12 seconds remaining to beat archrival and No. 11 Louisville on the road later that season.

MacGinnis' 359 career points broke the previous record (305) of kicker Lones Sieber (2006-09). Benny Snell, Kentucky's all-time leader in rushing and touchdowns, finished his three-year career with 290 career points.

The Alliance of American Football (AAF) is a professional American football league that was founded by Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian. The AAF began play on Feb. 9, 2019 and currently consists of eight teams with its games airing on the CBS Sports Network and Turner Sports. The AAF's inaugural 10-week season will culminate with a four-team playoff and the league's championship game in Las Vegas on April 27.

MacGinnis, who spent time with the Chicago Bears in their rookie minicamp, had tried out for the Bears again last month before signing with the AAF's Express.
