Georgia Bulldogs
Rodrigo Blankenship, a senior from Marietta, Georgia, became the Bulldogs’ all-time career scoring leader thanks to a 23-for-26 campaign that ties for second in FBS for made field goals. Three of those makes came from 50 yards out, tying him for the national lead for most field goals from long distance. His 88.5% conversion rate is the best among kickers with at least 20 attempts and at least one kick from 50 yards. He has never missed a PAT in 190 career attempts, including 36 this year that help lift his season scoring total to 105, tied for 2nd in the country.

Florida Gators
Judd Davis went from a non-scholarship, walk-on player to the leading scorer in Florida history. When he won the Lou Groza Award in 1993, Davis was successful on 15 of 19 field goal attempts and helped to lead the Gators to an SEC Championship and a victory in the Sugar Bowl. That year, Davis also made all but two of 53 extra points. He became the first kicker in Florida history to be named an All-American. During his senior year of 1994, Davis benefited from Florida’s Fun-and-Gun offense by twice making 10 extra points in a single game. Davis finished his career up by winning three SEC titles and setting a school record with 81 straight extra points made.

Tulane Green Wave
After being a semifinalist his freshman and sophomore seasons, Seth Marler finally broke through as a junior and won the Lou Groza Award. Marler made 15 of the 16 field goal attempts he made (the only miss was blocked) and connected on 39 of 40 extra points. He went three for three on kicks longer than 50 yards, including a 53-yarder against East Carolina that was the second-longest field goal in Green Wave history. Marler’s field goal percentage of 93.8% shattered the previous school mark by more than 10 percent. Marler finished his career at Tulane in 2002 as the most prolific kicker ever to wear a Green Wave jersey, making 66 field goals during his four years in New Orleans.
