SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Junior kicker Spencer Porath was named to the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, as announced by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission.
Porath is one of 35 players chosen to this year’s watch list in honor of the 35th anniversary of the award.
A Brownsburg, Indiana native, Porath competed the past two seasons for Purdue and converted 15-of-17 field goal attempts last year, good for 88.2%. He was also a perfect 24-of-24 on PAT attempts, including hitting four against Ball State and Southern Illinois. He hit a career-long 53 yard field goal last year at Washington, one of two kicks he made from 50 or more yards in 2025.
Against the Irish last September, Porath connected on all three of his field goal attempts, converting from 48, 35 and 26 yards. He also drilled all three PATs at Notre Dame Stadium in 2025.
