Reichard, a graduate student from Hoover, Alabama, caps one of the great collegiate careers of all time by becoming just the 12th kicker in history to be voted a Groza finalist more than once. He has amassed 530 points in his career, tied for the most by any player in FBS history. This season, his 3-for-3 mark on kicks from at least 50 yards gives him the most by any kicker who didn’t miss from long distance, perhaps not surprising given his 8 career makes from 50+ are the most in Alabama history.

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.
