Colorado Buffaloes kicker James Stefanou earned a spot on ESPN’s Freshman All-American list as the nation’s best freshman kicker. Stefanou became the second Buffs freshman to make a national All-American list in subsequent years (Tim Lynott- USA Today).
Stefanou was the third player in CU history to be named as a semifinalist for the Lou Groza award, recognizing the best kicker in college football. He ended an outstanding first season making 17-of-22 field goals (77.3%, 53-yard long) and was perfect on 35 point after attempts.
The 6’1”, 185 pound native of Melbourne, Australia is currently the nation’s second oldest college football player at the age of 30.
