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.”

Dan Bailey put the wraps on a standout career that saw him enter the program as a walk-on and leave OSU as the school’s all-time leading scorer (347 career points with at least two games remaining in his career). The previous all-time leading scorer was Barry Sanders. Bailey also set a school record with 22 field goals in the 2010 season through the first 11 games. He has handled placekicking duties since midway through the 2007 season and was also responsible for kickoff duties prior to 2009. Bailey set a school record by hitting his first 182 extra-point attempts before having a kick blocked at Texas. He has hit more extra points than any player in OSU history.
