Dallas Cowboys placekicker Brandon Aubrey disclosed details about his path to becoming a top kicker in the National Football League, Fox News reported. Aubrey explained that he suffered cuts from soccer rosters and moved to lower tiers before eventually walking away from the sport. [1][2]

Aubrey played professional soccer in Major League Soccer and the United Soccer League, according to Fox News. He stated that he did not perform well enough to stay on a roster, and he noted that there was limited money available in second-tier soccer at that time. [1]

Aubrey grew up in Plano, Texas, and played college soccer at the University of Notre Dame. He was selected in the first round of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft by Toronto FC. After his soccer career, he worked as a software engineer until his wife, Jenn, encouraged him to pursue NFL kicking. [1][4]

Aubrey began training for American football kicking in 2019 and eventually joined the Dallas Cowboys, where he earned a selection to the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl is the annual All-Star event hosted by the NFL. [1][2][3][4]
