West Palm Beach, Fla. -- The Palm Beach County Sports Commission has released the 20 semifinalists for the 2017 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award presented by the Orange Bowl. These twenty kickers have all excelled throughout the season in earning their places as semifinalists and Middle Tennessee senior Canon Rooker is among the honored.
A new era may be dawning, as only three of the 20 semifinalists have earned the honor in previous years, though one of those is a very familiar face. Auburn senior Daniel Carlson, a finalist for the Groza in both 2015 and 2016, still has a chance to finally take home the trophy.
