NCAA Statistical Champion: Quinn Sharp Field Goals Made in 2012
July 14, 2022 | Cowboy Football
A two-time Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year selection, Quinn Sharp began his Oklahoma State career as a punter, but ended it as a triple threat manning the punting, kickoff and place-kicking duties for the Cowboys.
Sharp became one of the nation's premier kickers in 2012 as he led the country in field goals made. He converted 28 of 34 attempts on the season, which is the most successful kicks in a single season in program history and tied for 13th in FBS history.
During the 2012 season, Sharp was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week twice for his performances against Kansas and TCU. He knocked in field goals from 42 and 49 yards that were the difference in OSU's 20-14 win over the Jayhawks,while blasting three punts over 50 yards, including a 73-yarder. Two weeks later in the victory over TCU, Sharp converted on all five field goal attempts from lengths of 22, 34, 30, 32 and 27, tying a program record for field goals in a single game.
Sharp was automatic on short attempts throughout the season going 19-of-19 on kicks inside 40 yards. He also went a perfect 72-for-72 on extra point attempts. He was named a semifinalist for the Lou Groza award, which honors the nation's top kicker.
