San Jose State University placekicker Austin Lopez was named to the FoxSportsNext.com Freshman All-American team as a first-team choice.

            The first-time freshman from Euless, Texas, is one of three Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players to convert 100 percent of his field goal attempts during the regular season. He was 15-of-15 in field goals with a long of 45 yards in the 52-43 win over Louisiana Tech on November 24.

            Lopez set school single-season kick scoring records for most points (96) and most point-after-touchdowns (51). He tied a San Jose State record with four field goals in the 12-0 win at Navy.

            The 2012 Lou Groza Collegiate Placekicking Award semifinalist was a second-team All-Western Athletic Conference selection by the conference's seven coaches.
