UCLA’s Ka’imi Fairbairn was named the winner of the Lou Groza Award on Thursday in Atlanta, joining 2009 winner Kai Forbath as the only Bruins players to win the award given annually to college football’s top kicker.
Fairbairn, a senior from Kailua, Hawaii, kicked his way into the record books with his four field goals and one extra-point against Washington State on Nov. 14. The 13-point night gave Fairbairn sole possession of the UCLA and Pac-12 career scoring records.
Fairbairn also hit a school-record 60-yard field goal this season, the longest kick in the FBS since 2012.
