Kyle Federico climbing Rutgers football record book as he chases Jeremy Ito, San San Te

PISCATAWAY – Kyle Federico measures himself against other placekickers, though not the ones he is chasing in the Rutgers football record book.

The senior has his eyes on Maryland’s Brad Craddock, Florida State’s Robert Aguayo and West Virginia’s Josh Lambert, the three finalists for the 2014 Lou Groza Award given to the best kicker in the nation.

“I’m not going to judge myself off of what other people did here,” Federico said. “I want to make it on the (preseason) Lou Groza Watch List. I’m looking at some of the other kickers around the country who have had success, and I am trying to build off last season so I can be up there competing with them.
