BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana redshirt junior kicker Charles Campbell was named one of the "Stars of the Week" by the Lou Groza Award following the Hoosiers win at Western Kentucky on Saturday. It marks the second honor of Campbell's career (at Rutgers in 2020).
Campbell matched a program single-game record and set a career-high with four field goals in four attempts. He connected on kicks from 46, 37, 25, and 48 yards to improve to 7-of-7 on the season and 19-of-20 (95.0 percent) in his career.
The Jackson, Tenn., native is 11-of-12 (91.7) in his career from 40-plus yards, including 4-of-4 this year. He owns five multi-field goal games in his career, including a pair in 2021.
Campbell also hit all three of his extra points and set a career-high with 15 total points, the most by a kicker across the country on Saturday.
The Lou Groza Award is named for National Football League Hall of Fame kicker Lou "The Toe" Groza, who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Groza won four NFL championships with Cleveland and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1954. Although an All-Pro offensive lineman as well, Groza ushered in the notion that there should be a place on an NFL roster for a kicker.
