COLUMBIA, Mo. – Announced by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission on Thursday, sophomore Harrison Mevis is a semifinalist for the 2021 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award. Also a 2020 semifinalist, he is one of three Southeastern Conference kickers recognized this season.

The SEC Special Teams Player of the Week for Oct. 30, Mevis has made 19 consecutive field goals, an active streak that leads the nation. The "Thiccer Kicker" is 11-for-11 this season including 3-for-3 from beyond 50 yards and 6-for-6 from 40-49.

Mevis started the 2021 season with a bang, drilling a 53-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the first half to give Mizzou a lead over Central Michigan. The kick was a then career-long from Mevis and had plenty of leg to spare. He was equally impressive at Boston College, hitting a career-long 56-yard boot to send the game to overtime.

In Mizzou's road win at Vanderbilt, Mevis netted three field goals from 46, 32, and 52 yards, including two in the fourth quarter to stretch Mizzou's lead to two scores.

Four kickers have made 56-yard field goal in 2021. Of the four, Mevis is the lone kicker with multiple 50+ yard attempts who remains perfect (3-for-3). He is one of just two Tigers in program history to make five or more kicks of 50+ yards, joining Tom Whelihan (6, 1984-87).

In extra points, Mevis is 34-for-34 on the season and 62-for-62 in his career.

For the first time ever, a pair of brothers have made the list in the same season. Two-time semifinalist Harrison is joined by his older brother, Andrew, a senior at Iowa State. The two have demonstrated some of the strongest legs in the country, with Harrison tied atop the national lead with nine field goals of 40 yards or longer, while Andrew is right behind with eight.
