Borregales Named Lou Groza Award Semifinalist

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (Nov. 1, 2018) – The Palm Beach County Sports Commission has released the 20 semifinalists for the 2018 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award presented by the Orange Bowl. FIU's sophomore sensation Jose Borregales continues to stay in the national spotlight as he was named as one of the 20 semifinalists.

Borregales garnered attention from ESPN's Scott Van Pelt earlier in the week, as the kicker captivates national audiences with his play and presence on the field. The Miami native has booted 10-of-11 kicks through the uprights this season, while also breaking FIU's school record for the longest field goal made after nailing a 53-yarder against Middle Tennessee.
