Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award Announces 2020 Preseason Watch List News Palm Beach County Sports Commission EMBARGOED FOR OFFICIAL RELEASE WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2020 1:00 PM EDT July 22, 2020 Contact: Jared Fleet, Event Manager (561) 233-3120, [email protected] Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award Announces 2020 Preseason Watch List WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Headlined by two returning finalists, a previous winner, a dozen former semifinalists, and some of the best emerging talent in college football, it’s a highly competitive year on the thirty-player Watch List for the 2020 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, as announced by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. Last year’s Groza winner, Rodrigo Blankenship, is now an Indianapolis Colt, but his fellow finalists Iowa senior Keith Duncan and Washington State junior Blake Mazza are back to vie for the award. Also returning is Syracuse junior and 2018 Groza winner Andre Szmyt, who could become just the second player to ever win the award multiple times, joining Sebastian Janikowski who won in 1998 and 1999. Among the players on the Watch List are all 10 returning FBS kickers who made more than 20 field goals last season while connecting at least 80% of the time: Duncan (29, 85.3%), Kent State junior Matthew Trickett (29, 85.3%), Wake Forest junior Nick Sciba (24, 96.0%), East Carolina senior Jake Verity (24, 82.8%), Memphis senior Riley Patterson (23, 92.0%), Tennessee senior Brent Cimaglia (23, 85.2%), Arizona State junior Cristian Zendejas (23, 85.2%), San Diego State sophomore Matt Araiza (22, 84.6%), NC State junior Christopher Dunn (21, 87.5%), and Nevada sophomore Brandon Talton (21, 84.0%). Among returning kickers who made more at least 10 field goals, only eight connected at a rate of at least 90%, and all of them found their way to the Watch List: Oklahoma sophomore Gabe Brkic (100%), Sciba (96.0%), Mazza (95.2%), Patterson (92.0%), Penn State junior Jake Pinegar (91.7%), Texas Tech sophomore Trey Wolff (90.9%), Washington junior Peyton Henry (90.5%), and Kansas State senior Blake Lynch (90.5%). The Watch List also includes the only four returning FBS kickers who scored at least 120 points last season: LSU sophomore Cade York (152), Patterson (134), Trickett (126), and Ohio State senior Blake Haubeil (124). While the Watch List highlights 30 of the best returning kickers in the country, the Groza Committee will be watching all FBS kickers throughout the season, and releasing a weekly “Stars of the Week” feature on www.lougrozaaward.com. All FBS kickers remain eligible to be selected as semifinalists. Accomplishments are tabulated throughout the season and the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award will announce its 20 semifinalists on Thursday, November 5th. From this list, a panel of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers selects the top three finalists for the award, announced on Tuesday, November 24th. That same group then selects the national winner, who will be announced on Thursday, December 10th during the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN. The 29th Annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, presented by the Orange Bowl, recognizes the three finalists during a celebration in Palm Beach County, culminating with a gala awards banquet at West Palm Beach’s Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on December 7th. The Award is named for National Football League Hall of Fame kicker Lou “The Toe” Groza, who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Groza won four NFL championships with Cleveland and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1954. Although an All-Pro offensive lineman as well, Groza ushered in the notion that there should be a place on an NFL roster for a kicker.

Matt Araiza – San Diego State Class: Sophomore - Hometown: San Diego, California FGM FGA FG% 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+ LONG XPM XPA PTS 22 26 84.6 0-0 10-10 5-6 7-10 0-0 48 28 28 94 No freshman in the country made more field goals than Araiza, whose 22 kicks also set the San Diego State school record. His excellence was clear right out of the gate, as he scored all of SDSU’s points in their 6-0 victory over Weber State and then followed that with an 11-point performance in the Aztecs’ 23-14 upset win on the road against UCLA. He would finish the year as one of only five FBS kickers to make field goals in every game of the season. Gabe Brkic – Oklahoma Class: Sophomore - Hometown: Chardon, Ohio FGM FGA FG% 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+ LONG XPM XPA PTS 17 17 100 1-1 5-5 7-7 3-3 1-1 50 52 52 103 A 2019 Groza semifinalist, there is an argument that no kicker has ever had a better season in FBS history than Brkic’s freshman campaign. Not only was he the only kicker in the country to make every attempt – both FGs and XPs – on the year, his combined total of 69 perfect attempts is the most in FBS history by a kicker who didn’t miss. Brent Cimaglia – Tennessee Class: Senior - Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee FGM FGA FG% 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+ LONG XPM XPA PTS 23 27 85.2 1-1 5-5 8-10 7-9 2-2 53 35 35 104 A 2019 Groza semifinalist, Cimaglia kicked more field goals in one season than any Tennessee kicker in over 30 years. His 17 makes from at least 30 yards out rank third among returning FBS kickers. He went 3-for-3 on field goals in three games, including both the season opener and the Gator Bowl, and topped those with a 4-for-4 performance against BYU. Brian Delaney – Virginia Class: Senior - Hometown: Chantilly, Virginia FGM FGA FG% 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+ LONG XPM XPA PTS 20 24 83.3 0-0 8-8 8-11 4-5 0-0 49 50 52 110 Delaney’s 110-point season ranks third all-time at Virginia, and ties him for ninth among returning FBS kickers. He enters this season having made 13 consecutive field goal attempts, including a 48 yarder with 1:28 left against rival Virginia Tech that broke a 30-30 tie and led the ‘Hoos to victory. Jonathan Doerer – Notre Dame Class: Senior - Hometown: Charlotte, North Carolina FGM FGA FG% 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+ LONG XPM XPA PTS 17 20 85 1-1 3-3 6-7 5-7 2-2 52 57 57 108 They’ve played football for over 130 years at Notre Dame, but no Irish kicker had ever scored 100 points until Doerer. He went 4-for-4 twice, including in a Camping World Bowl victory, but it’s his 3-for-3 game against USC that stands out most, connecting from 43, 45 and 52 yards out in a 30-27 win over the Trojans. Keith Duncan – Iowa Class: Senior - Hometown: Weddington, North Carolina FGM FGA FG% 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+ LONG XPM XPA PTS 29 34 85.3 1-1 10-10 4-5 14-18 0-0 49 32 32 119 A finalist for the Groza in 2019, Duncan finished the regular season with five more field goals than anyone else in the country, becoming the first Big Ten kicker to lead the nation since Mike Nugent’s 2004 Groza-winning campaign.

  • Heavy Metal: the Ncfaa Newsletter (Nov. 13, 2020)
    HEAVY METAL: THE NCFAA NEWSLETTER (NOV. 13, 2020) Farewell to The Golden Boy: Paul Hornung (1935-2020) Paul Vernon Hornung, one of the all-time great college and pro football players from the 1950s and 60s, passed away today in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., at age 84 after a long battle with dementia. Hornung is survived by his wife of 41 years, Angela Hornung. Legendary Green Bay Packer Football Coach Vince Lombardi once called Hornung, “The most versatile man ever to play the game.” Nicknamed “The Golden Boy” due to his blond hair and handsome features, Hornung won the 1956 Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame as a quarterback, then was a star halfback and placekicker for the Green Bay Packers team that ruled the NFL in the 1960s. Hornung is a member of the college and pro football halls of fame and the namesake of the Paul Hornung Award, presented annually to the most versatile player in major college football. The number one pick by the Green Bay Packers in the 1957 NFL Draft, Hornung became an all-pro halfback in the 1960s who could run, pass, catch, block and kick. The zenith of his colorful NFL tenure came during three exceptional seasons in 1959, 1960 and 1961 when Hornung led the NFL in scoring two of those years and finished second the other year by one point. In 1960, he capped by a stellar season when he scored a record 176 points in 12 games on 15 touchdowns, 15 field goals and 41 extra points – a mark that would stand for nearly 46 years.

  • Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 3 (2002) Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense By Bob Carroll Paul Brown “always wanted his players to better themselves, and he wanted us known for being more than just football players,” Tony Adamle told an Akron Beacon Journal reporter in 1999. In the case of Adamle, the former Cleveland Browns linebacker who passed away on October 8, 2000, at age 76, his post-football career brought him even more honor than captaining a world championship team. Tony was born May 15, 1924, in Fairmont, West Virginia, to parents who had immigrated from Slovenia. By the time he reached high school, his family had moved to Cleveland where he attended Collinwood High. From there, he moved on to Ohio State University where he first played under Brown who became the OSU coach in 1941. World War II interrupted Adamle’s college days along with those of so many others. He joined the U.S. Air Force and served in the Middle East theatre. By the time he returned, Paul Bixler had succeeded Paul Brown, who had moved on to create Cleveland’s team in the new All-America Football Conference. Adamle lettered for the Buckeyes in 1946 and played well enough that he was selected to the 1947 College All-Star Game. He started at fullback on a team that pulled off a rare 16-0 victory over the NFL’s 1946 champions, the Chicago Bears. Six other members of the starting lineup were destined to make a mark in the AAFC, including the game’s stars, quarterback George Ratterman and running back Buddy Young.
