Georgia Southern Eagles

Koo, a senior from Ridgewood, New Jersey, set the Georgia Southern record with 14 consecutive made field goals, a stretch snapped only by a missed 54-yard attempt going into halftime against Ole Miss. That would be his only miss on the season, finishing 19-for-20 for a 95.0% accuracy rate that ranked third in the nation. The 19 total FGs ties the Eagles’ all-time record, while his career 88.6% accuracy easily tops the school record books. Koo’s season is highlighted by his 4-for-4 FG performance against Arkansas State that included a season-long 53 yarder.
