JONESBORO, Ark. (9/26/2011) — Following his record-setting performance in Arkansas State's 53-24 victory over Central Arkansas Saturday, sophomore placekicker Brian Davis (Brentwood, Tenn.) has been named as one of three Lou Groza Award Stars of the Week, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission announced Monday.

College football's top kicking award, the Lou Groza Collegiate Place Kicker Award, sponsored by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, recognizes three of the top kickers each week from FBS division teams as the “Stars of the Week”.

Fans may vote for their favorite Star of the Week by visiting the Lou Groza Award website at the following link: http://www.lougrozaaward.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.starsoftheweek&x=4093632

He was also named as the College Football Performance Awards' National Placekicker of the Week and the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week.

Davis set new Sun Belt Conference and ASU records when he was perfect on six field goals and five extra-point attempts against the Bears.  His six field goals made were an ASU and Sun Belt Conference record and his 23 points scored in the game was also an SBC and ASU record for points scored in a single game by a kicker.  Davis did not miss on the night, connecting on field goals of 24, 32, 33, 34, 21 and 33 yards, and was 5-of-5 on extra point attempts.  Both his six field goals and 23 points were the most by a kicker in the nation this season, and he was just one field goal and one point shy of tying the NCAA records as well.

Davis and the Red Wolves will open Sun Belt Conference play Saturday when they travel to Bowling Green, Ky. for a 3:00 p.m. matchup against the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky.  The game will be televised by the Sun Belt Network.

The Lou Groza Award will be presented as part of the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show in Orlando, Florida on Thursday December 8th.  The three finalists will be honored at the 20th Annual Lou Groza Awards Banquet on Tuesday December 6th at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. 

Tickets for ASU's four remaining home games are on sale and can be ordered by contacting the ASU Box Office at 870-972-ASU1 or 1-888-ASU-FANS, or by visiting AStateRedWolves.com.
