Evan McPherson mick-FEAR-suhn; (born July 21, 1999) is an American professional football placekicker for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida Gators before being drafted by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, the only kicker to be selected that year.

During the Bengals' 2021 playoff run, McPherson tied Adam Vinatieri for most field goals made in a single postseason, with 14, and set the record for most postseason field goals made without any misses. Due to his clutch kicking, McPherson is nicknamed "Shooter" (after the Happy Gilmore character of a similar nickname) and "Money Mac."

McPherson started his football career at Fort Payne High School in Fort Payne, Alabama, where he spent four seasons as the team's kicker and punter. At Fort Payne, McPherson made a 60-yard field goal and an 84-yard punt, both kicks being one yard short of the Alabama high school record. He also made the first-team All-State in 2017.

McPherson went on to play college football for the Florida Gators from 2018 to 2020 before choosing to forgo his senior season and enter the 2021 NFL draft. At Florida, McPherson was 51-of-60 (85.0%) on field goals, setting a Southeastern Conference record for career field goal percentage (minimum 50 attempts), and 149-of-150 on extra points. He made 5 of 8 career field goal attempts from at least 50 yards. In his three seasons with the Gators, the team recorded a 29–9 record and a 2–1 record in bowl games, including an Orange Bowl win in 2019. McPherson made all three of his field goal attempts in that game, the longest from 49 yards.

When McPherson left Florida, his career field goal percentage ranked 12th in NCAA history.

McPherson was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fifth round, 149th overall, of the 2021 NFL draft. He signed his four-year rookie contract with the Bengals on May 17, 2021.

McPherson was a perfect 5/5 on field goals during the Bengals' three 2021 preseason games, including a 57-yard kick. At the end of the preseason, the Bengals released their only other kicker on the roster, Austin Seibert, and named McPherson the starter for the regular season. McPherson became the first player from Fort Payne High School ever to play in an NFL regular season game.

McPherson made his first regular-season field goal attempt, a 53-yarder, in the season-opener against the Minnesota Vikings on September 12, 2021. During overtime, McPherson kicked a 33-yard game-winning field goal to secure a 27–24 victory, earning AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. On November 21, McPherson tied an NFL record by making three field goals from over 50 yards in one game, going 4/4 on kicks from 54, 53, 51, and 47 yards in a 32–13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, securing his second AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award in the process. He also set the franchise record for most 50-yard field goals made in a season, breaking the old record of 4 set by Horst Muhlmann in 1970. On December 19, McPherson set the franchise record for longest field goal for the Bengals with a 58-yard kick against the Denver Broncos.
