Joseph Bulovas

Joseph Bulovas is an American football player and a kicker for the Alabama Crimson Tide 2020 football team. He is originally from Mandeville, Louisiana and attended high school at Mandeville High School. He is currently a Sophomore and redshirted his first year at Alabama.

Joseph was a three-star recruit and received offers from Army, Mississippi State, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Air Force, Tulane, Louisiana, Southeastern Louisiana, and UTSA. He originally committed to Georgia Tech on January 10, 2016, but decommitted more than a year later on January 23, 2017. On January 25, 2017, just two days later, he committed to Alabama.

He redshirted this year.

During his redshirt freshman year, Joseph assumed the kickoff duties and played 15 games as the placekicker. In 2018 he took 18 field goal attempts and made 14 of them with a long of 49 yards against Mississippi State. He also made 75 PATs. He produced a total of 117 points.

During his sophomore year, Bulovas played in 11 games and started 9 of those games as the placekicker. During 2019 he made 8 field goals off of 11 attempts with a long of 43 yards and also made 59 PATs. He produced a total of 83 points.

Missed Field Goal against Auburn

During their last game of the year against Auburn Tigers football, Bulovas had a field goal opportunity to tie the game up at 48 with a 30-yard field goal attempt with 2:04 left on the clock. But, he hit it off of the upright, which ended up losing them costing them the game. Alabama lost 48–45.

That game essentially ended their playoff hopes as they were ranked #5 in the country before the game began.

Bulovas came out publicly with an apology after the game on Twitter. "I just want to express my apologies to the Crimson Tide nation... that is a kick I should make in my sleep".
