Greg Zuerlein, Griffon place kicker, was the first pick in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft in April, selected by the St. Louis Rams.
Greg came to Missouri Western in 2011 after his former school, University of Nebraska-Omaha, dropped its football program.
Throughout his college career, Greg made 21 consecutive field goals, including nine straight from 50-plus yards. He was named the 2011 season’s MIAA Special Teams Player of the Year and set numerous NCAA and Missouri Western records. His .952 field goal percentage led the nation, and he had 30 touchbacks in his first and only season in a Griffon uniform.
