Ammendola Named Groza Award Semifinalist
November 07, 2019 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State kicker Matt Ammendola is one of 20 national semifinalists for the 2019 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission announced Thursday.
Ammendola is one of nine players in college football who has made more than 10 field goals while connecting at a 90% rate or better, as he is 14-for-15 on field goal attempts this season. Going back to last season, he has made 17 of his past 18 field goal attempts.
It marks the first time that Ammendola, a senior who began his career as a walk-on, has been named a semifinalist for the award. Oklahoma State kicker Dan Bailey won the award in 2010.
Semifinalists will be voted on by a panel of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers to select the three finalists. These finalists will be announced on November 25 and honored at the 28th annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Awards Banquet on December 9 in Palm Beach County. The same panel then selects the winner, who will be announced live on ESPN at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on December 12.
