According to Pro Football News, Graham Gano is one of the nation’s most accurate field-goal kickers.  Additionally, he is the 2008 Lou Groza winner as the elite and top punter who averages nearly 43 yards a punt.  This is the nation’s top honor for any place kicker and the third time a Florida State University player has won the honor. Graham Gano, a senior from FSU, leads the nation in field goals and is the highest scoring kicker in all of the FBS.  No other kicker in America converted more 50 yard attempts then Graham Gano, additionally he converted 24 of 26 field-goal attempts overall and at 52 and 50 yards were his only two misses.

Along with all the Super Bowl hype, Graham Gano won the long distance competition by kicking a field goal of 54 yards to win the event over the fierce competition.  During the warm ups, Gano was routinely kicking field goals at 60 plus yards.  As stated earlier, Gano is the main place kicker, punter and field-goal kicker for Florida State University.  Nearly all college football sports websites contain photographs of Gano doing what he does best and that is kicking.
