Former Kent State kicker April Goss awarded postgraduate scholarship

Goss walked onto the football team as a kicker in the spring of 2012.

Goss became the second female in FBS history, and the first since New Mexico’s Katie Hnida in 2003, to score a point in a regular season game. Goss kicked an extra point against Delaware State on Sept. 12, 2015 to put the Flashes up 29-6.

She was also a nominee for the Bobby Bowden Award, which is given to the player who conducts his or herself “as a faith model in the community, in the classroom and on the field.”

Goss, one of 12 Postgraduate Award winners, will speak at the 28th Annual Northeastern Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Cleveland Touchdown Club Charities Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet on Tuesday, March 8, at LaCentre Banquet Facility in Westlake.
