Groza watch has OU, OSU, UA



 Oklahoma State’s Quinn Sharp, Oklahoma’s Michael Hunnicutt and Arkansas’ Zach Hocker were all named to the Lou Groza Award watch list as the nation’s top college placekicker.

A 2011 Groza finalist, Sharp was a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America and was the first player in Big 12 history to be named as the conference team’s punter and kicker. A senior-to-be, Sharp’s 145 points scored ranked fifth nationally.

Hocker, a junior, led all SEC kickers last season with 118 points, a mark that also set the single-season Arkansas kick-scoring record. He’s a junior.

Last season, Hunnicutt matched OU’s single-season field goal mark with 21, the most ever by a freshman in the Big 12.
