🔼 That Makes Three. Boise State kicker Jonah Dalmas was named to the Lou Groza Award Watch List for the third straight season by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. Dalmas ranks second in NCAA history in career field goal percentage at 88.9 and was tabbed preseason All-America by Athlon Sports and College Football News. He is a four-time All-Mountain West selection as the former walk-on enters his final year of eligibility needing four made field goals to set the MW record.
