College career
Foster attended the University of Alabama from 2010–2013 under head coach
As a senior, Foster took over the full-time kicking duties and hit a career-long 53-yarder against Ole Miss.[3] He received further negative attention after he missed all three field goals (one of which was blocked) during the 2013 Iron Bowl, which Alabama lost after Foster's replacement, Adam Griffith, left his 57-yard attempt short at the end of regulation and it was returned for a game-winning touchdown by Auburn.[4] However, Foster received a letter of support from an unlikely source, former President George W. Bush, which he posted on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.[5]
Personal life
After his collegiate football career, Foster attended the University of Alabama School of Law.[6]
