Mac L. Percival (born February 26, 1940 in Vernon, Texas) is a former American football placekicker in the National Football League for the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. He played college basketball at Texas Tech University.
Percival attended Vernon High School. He used a straight-away style as one of the kickers for the football team, but was only involved in kickoffs and extra points. He also lettered in basketball, which was his main sport.
He accepted a basketball scholarship from Texas Tech University, but did not play football during his time in college.
In the Sixties, the Dallas Cowboys employed a kicking caravan search to unearth potential kickers. Percival was signed as an undrafted free agent after the 1967 NFL Draft, based on his performance in one of those searches, even though he never played a down of college football and that he had spent four years after college as a high school teacher.
On September 6, he was traded along with tight end Austin Denney to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a third round draft choice (#71-Ed Harmon).
