York made nearly 82 percent of his college field goal tries including a remarkable 15-of-19 from 50 yards or more over his three seasons in Baton Rouge.

In his final season with the Tigers, the Prosper, Tex. native went 15-of-18 on field goal attempts and set a Tiger Stadium record by converting a 56-yard kick.

In 2020, his six field goals of 50-plus yards broke the school record. The final one of that group, a 57-yarder at Florida, gave LSU a thrilling 37-34 upset win in Gainesville.

His Freshman All-SEC performance in 2019 helped the Tigers on their 15-0 run to the 2019 national championship.
