Zvada is one of 30 kickers in the nation to be named on the list. In 2022, the Red Wolves kicker went 30-for-31 on PATS and 17-of-18 on field goals, making him one of the most efficient kickers in all of college football.
His only miss came last season from 51 yards. His longest kick of the season was from 56 yards, which tied for the third-longest field goal in the country and second-longest in program history.
The award’s semi finalists will be announced on Thursday, November 9th. From a panel of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers, the top three finalists for the award will be announced on Tuesday, November 28th.
On the night of Dec. 4, the winner of the Lou Groza Place-Kicker Award will be announced in West Palm Beach, Fla.
