Early years

York attended Prosper High School in Texas, where he played both soccer and football, and was one of the top kicking prospects in the nation in the latter sport. [1] He committed to playing college football at LSU, and had set an Under Armour All-America Game record for longest field goal, hitting a 59-yard field goal, besting his career long in high school of 47 yards. [2] [3] [4]

College career

Freshman season

York was named the Tigers' starting kicker before the start of the 2019 season. He got off to a shaky start in the season, missing an extra point against Northwestern State and field goals against Utah State and Florida, but rebounded to make the Southeastern Conference (SEC) All-Freshman team, as well as second-team All-SEC as the Tigers won the 2020 College Football Playoff. [5]

Sophomore season

York finished his sophomore season perfect on extra points (36-for-36), hit 85.7% of his field goal attempts (18-for-21), and was a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award, given to the top placekicker in college football. [6]

In the December 12 game against Florida, York hit his career-long field goal of 57 yards with 27 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to put LSU ahead 37–34, leading to the Tigers' upset of the then-No. 6 ranked team in the country. [7] [8]

York was named a first-team All-SEC by the coaches and second-team All-SEC by the Associated Press (AP) at the end of the season. He was also named a second-team All-American by the AP and the Football Writers Association of America. [9]

Cleveland Browns

York was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the 124th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. [12]

He began his career converting all four field goal attempts and both extra point attempts against the Carolina Panthers, including a game-winning 58 yard field goal in the 26–24 win.

[14] York finished his rookie season converting 35 of 37 extra-point attempts and 24 of 32 field goal attempts. [15]

After struggling in the 2023 preseason and the Browns acquiring Dustin Hopkins from the Los Angeles Chargers via trade, York was waived on August 29, 2023. [16] [17]

Tennessee Titans

On August 31, 2023, York was signed to the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans. [18]

New York Giants

On November 3, 2023, York was signed by the New York Giants off the Titans practice squad. [19] He was waived on November 22 and re-signed to the practice squad two days later. [20] [21] After suffering a quad injury in practice, the Giants placed him on injured reserve on December 23. [22] He was not signed to a reserve/future contract and thus became a free agent at the end of the season. [23]
