UCLA Bruins
Ka’imi Fairbairn has proven to be one of the top football players in the illustrious history of UCLA. On November 13, 2015, the senior place-kicker made 4 field goals against Washington State, which not only set a career record for most points scored at UCLA but also represented the most career points scored in conference history. Fairbairn’s 410 career points is 20 more than the previous career scoring leader for UCLA and the Pacific Coast Conference, which was held by UCLA kicker, John Lee since 1985 and was deemed untouchable. During the 2015 season, Fairbairn made 20 out of his 23 field goal attempts and was perfect on his 44 after touchdown kicks. Fairbairn’s 104 points for 2015 are top among the Bruins and ranks third in the Pac-12 conference.

TCU Horned Frogs
Michael Reeder became the first sophomore to win the Lou Groza Award after a 1995 season that saw him kick 23 field goals, a Texas Christian record, as well as 20 extra points. Reeder further entrenched himself in the long annuals of TCU football by making a school record 13 consecutive field goals. He did not miss a field goal inside of 39 yards, and was often called the Horned Frogs’ security blanket. For his efforts, Reeder was named a consensus All-American. Reflecting on his magical 1995 season, Reeder said, “It means that for at least one year, I was the best college kicker in the country. The countless hours of practice paid off.”
