Hi,
Congratulations to OzPunt and Maryland Footballs Brad Craddock for being named as a finalist for the Lou Groza Award. The Lou Groza award is presented to the best College Kicker in the Nation.
Brad is one of 3 Finalists, and according to many is a strong chance to win the award which will be announced on Thursday, December the 11th in Florida. A panel of over 300 experts selects the top three finalists for the award in late November. That same group then selects the national winner in December.
The voting panel of 300 consist of Division 1 head coaches, sports writers and sportscasters from across the county, conference representatives, professional kickers and previous winners. The Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award has become the most prestigious college football award for kickers.
The link below will tell you more about the 3 finalists and more importantly about the wonderful season Brad has had in 2014.

No Australian has ever been a finalist for this award, so Brad is in uncharted waters. Whether the award is presented to Brad or not, Brad has been a great representative to all Australians who have a dream to play College Football.
Enjoy your moment Brad, it is well deserved.
