McPherson took over the starting job for the Gators as a true freshman in 2018, tying for sixth in the FBS in field goal percentage and leading Florida with 101 points scored. In his most recent season in 2020, he finished 52-of-52 on extra points and 17 of 22 on field goals (77.3 percent) with four conversions over 50 yards and a long of 55, and he also had 40 touchbacks on 80 kickoffs.
The Bengals parted ways with kicker Randy Bullock this offseason as he departed in free agency, but Austin Seibert remains on the roster as one who will compete with McPherson for the job in training camp.
