NC State’s Christopher Dunn Wins the 2022 Lou Groza Award for Best College Football Kicker

Holy Cow!

NC State Place Kicker Christopher Dunn just won the Lou Groza Award which is awarded annually to the best place kicker in college football!

Watch the video below capturing when Dunn found out!

Dunn, a graduate student from Lexington, North Carolina, capped a record-setting career with his finest single season, going 24-for-25 on field goals. Both the total field goals and the 96.0% rate rank second in FBS this season, while his accuracy was the best by kickers with at least 20 attempts. 17 of those kicks came from at least 30 yards out, also the second-most in the country. Already the NC State program leader in both field goals and scoring, this season he set the ACC career records in those categories. (LouGroza)

Dunn is now the 2nd player in NC State history to win the Lou Groza Award, joining Marc Primanti, who won it in 1996.
