Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski is the only two-time winner of the Lou Groza Award, presented to college football's top kicker.

Maryland's Brad Craddock and Florida State's Robert Aguayo have a chance to change that in 2015.

Craddock -- last year's Groza winner -- and Aguayo -- who earned the honor in 2013 -- lead a field of 30 kickers on the 2015 watch list for the award, along with West Virginia's Josh Lambert -- who was a finalist with Craddock and Aguayo in 2014.

Craddock converted 18 of 19 field goal attempts for the Terrapins last season, including a perfect 16 of 16 from inside 50 yards. Lambert led the nation in field goals made with 30 last year. Aguayo ranked second with 27, but had a significantly better percentage (.900) than Lambert (.769).
