Brad Craddock was a star on the first Terrapins team to play in the Big 10 Conference.  The junior kicker ended the regular season with a nearly perfect stat sheet, connecting on 18 field goals in 19 attempts and was 41 for 41 on PATs. A total of 9 of Craddock’s 18 field goals were from 40 yards or beyond. His 95 total points led his team in scoring.  Craddock’s longest field goal of the year connected from 57 yards against Ohio St. Brad was recruited by Maryland while he was playing soccer and Australian Rules Football at Tabor Christian College in Adelaide Australia.

Rothe, a junior from Longmont, Colorado, ranks second in the nation in field goal accuracy among qualified FBS kickers, going 15-for-16 thus far. Included in that total is a 51 yarder, making him one of only two kickers in the nation to make a long-distance field goal while still connecting at better than 90% on total attempts. Among FBS kickers who qualified for accuracy leaderboards in each of the last two seasons, his combined 88.2% field goal conversion rate is second in the nation.

Ruggles, a senior from Odessa, Florida, is the nation’s top scoring kicker with 113 points. His bid for a perfect season came to an end this weekend, snapping what had been the nation’s longest consecutive field goal streak at 18 straight, going back to his previous season. Despite this late miss, his totals of 16‐for‐17 on field goals and 65‐for‐65 on PATs give him a combined accuracy rate of 98.78% on all kicks this season, the best by an FBS kicker with double‐digit field goal tries.
