MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee junior place-kicker Canon Rooker has been named to the 2017 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award Watch List, as announced by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission Wednesday.
Rooker, the son of Robert and Missy Rooker, made the most of an impressive junior season when he set the Middle Tennessee record for most points by a kicker in a single season with 112. The sure-footed Rooker connected on 16-of-19 field goal tries. The 16 field goals went down as the fourth-most in school history.
Rooker's accuracy was indeed a benefit, but he did his best work against C-USA competition.
