Oklahoma State kicker Alex Hale has been named a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, given annually to college football’s top place kicker. It’s the second time he’s made it this far.
Fresh off of his 2-for-2 outing in a win over Oklahoma, Hale is the current FBS leader in made field goals per game (2.22). He leads the Big 12 and is fourth nationally in scoring with 90 points to his name (foot).
He scored the Cowboys’ final Bedlam points, maybe ever, in game OSU won by three. To add a poetic layer, Hale was named a Groza semifinalist in 2020 until an injury in the Bedlam pregame warmups sidelined him.
