Chad Ryland, Maryland’s new senior kicker, was named to the 2022 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award Watch List on Wednesday, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission announced. He’s one of just 30 Division I kickers to be named to the list.
This list is curated by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission before each season by a panel of head coaches, sportscasters and former Groza Award winners. He joins Ohio State’s Noah Ruggles, Michigan’s Jake Moody and Purdue’s Mitchell Fineran as the only Big Ten kickers to make the list. The last Maryland kicker to be named to this list was Brad Craddock in 2015, after he had won the award the previous season.
