Philip Doyle (born March 20, 1969) is a former American football placekicker. After a standout high school career at Huffman High School in Birmingham, Doyle played college football at the University of Alabama from 1987 through 1989. After the 1990 season, he was recognized as a unanimous All-American for his play as a member of the Crimson Tide. After going undrafted and signing briefly with the New York Giants, Doyle played as a member of the Birmingham Fire for the 1992 season.
Doyle was the placekicker for Huffman High School in Birmingham, Alabama in the mid-1980s. As a junior in 1985, Doyle set a national high school record for field goals in a single season with 22. He broke the previous record of 19 set by Kelly Nemecek in 1983, and the 22 field goals in a single season still stands as an Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) record. Doyle ended his high school career with a total of 43 field goals which stood as an AHSAA record until 2011 when Andy Pappanastos finished his career with 48. In recognition of his career at Huffman, Doyle was named to the 1986 USA Today All-USA high school football team.
After being recruited by Alabama, Auburn and Florida State, Doyle signed with the Crimson Tide in February 1987. At Alabama, Doyle was the starting placekicker all four years he was eligible from 1987 through the 1990 seasons. During his career with the Crimson Tide, Doyle set several team records that still stand that include his six field goal, 19 points kicking performance against Southwestern Louisiana in 1990 as single game records. He also held nearly every other team placekicking record until they were broken by Leigh Tiffin in the late 2000s. As a senior, Dole was a unanimous selection to the 1990 College Football All-America Team.
