Celebrating the Nation’s Top Collegiate Place-Kickers

Over the last few decades, many things have helped mold college football into the game it is today. Near the top of that list is the increased importance of the kicking game. It used to be that place-kickers were local, non-scholarship athletes who made good. Now, top high school and prep kickers are as highly recruited as some quarterbacks and wide receivers. With national championships often won or lost on one swing of the leg, the importance of having a top kicker cannot be understated.

The Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award annually recognizes these talented athletes and showcases an elite club of place-kickers forever enshrined in college football history.
