Florida Gators kicker Evan McPherson has been named to the Lou Groza Award watch list.
McPherson has logged back-to-back 17-for-19 field goal seasons, giving him an 89.5% accuracy rating, highest in school history, and the second-best career mark by an active FBS kicker with multiple seasons. Among kickers with at least 7 FGs from 40+ yards last season, only one posted a better overall FG percentage.
McPherson has also led the SEC in field goal percentage each of the last two seasons. McPherson has connected on 97-of-98 (99%) of his extra-point attempts.
The Groza Award has been handed out annually since 1992.
