## Summary

Brandon Aubrey’s path to becoming a Pro Bowl kicker for the Dallas Cowboys took him from professional football (soccer) to software engineering and back to sport. He says he left soccer after struggling to keep a roster place and deciding that the pay in its second tier did not justify continuing, before his wife encouraged him to pursue kicking.

Now in his fourth Cowboys season, Aubrey made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three. He has converted 127 of 146 field-goal attempts, including a 65-yard long, and 146 of 151 extra points. He highlighted a 64-yard kick that tied a 2025 game against the New York Giants, followed by a 46-yard overtime winner in the Cowboys’ 40-37 victory.
