Alex Trlica (born August 11, 1984 in Friendswood, Texas) was a kicker for the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team.
As of January 9, 2007, Trlica held the NCAA record for successful point after tries. During his college career, he made 233 consecutive PATs without a miss. This, along with his field goals, put him among the nation’s top all-time leading scorers for kickers and number two on Tech’s all-time scoring list.
A Trlica 52 yard field goal tied the 2006 Insight Bowl sending it into overtime and resulting in an eventual record-setting victory for the Red Raiders. The following season, it was Trlica's 41-yard field goal that capped-off a come-from-behind win in the 2008 Gator Bowl.
