Konrardy Receives Pair of National Nods

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State kicker Kyle Konrardy was named the Burlsworth Trophy Walk-On of the Week and was named a Lou Groza Award "Star of the Week" for his performance in ISU's 16-13 victory over Iowa on Saturday.

Konrardy hit a 54-yard game-winning field goal to put Iowa State in front of rival Iowa with 1:52 remaining in the final quarter. It was the same distance as his game-winner against the Hawkeyes last season in Kinnick Stadium.

Already named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week for the second week in a row, Konrardy's 54-yard field goal Saturday came on the heels of his 63-yard make against South Dakota last week, which is the longest in nation this season. The Dubuque, Iowa native is the only FBS kicker with two makes from 50-plus yards this season and owns two of the 10 longest made field goals nationally this year (63, 54).

Konrardy is now 2-of-2 on kicks from 50-plus yards this season and 4-of-5 in his career.

Saturday against the Hawkeyes, he tied a career-best with a 3-of-3 mark on field goal attempts, hitting from 44, 27 and 54 yards. He also handled kickoff duties, sending 2-of-5 kicks out of the end zone for a touchback.

No. 14 Iowa State hits the road to Arkansas State in Week 3. Kickoff from Jonesboro is set for 3 p.m. (CT) on ESPN2.
