  12/08/22 - Joshua Karty, rJr/2024, Stanford, 6-2, 207 (DS#1 K) + More +

  2022 LOU GROZA AWARD FINALIST (OUTSTANDING KICKER): Joshua Karty, Stanford,...Following a perfect 18-for-18 season on field goals, Stanford junior kicker Joshua Karty was named one of three finalists for the 2022 Lou Groza Award on Tuesday morning. The award is presented annually to the Collegiate Place-Kicker of the Year by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission and the Orange Bowl. Karty is joined by NC State's Christopher Dunn and Michigan's Jake Moody as the three finalists. Karty, a native of Burlington, N.C., went 18-of-18 on the year on field goal attempts, with 13 of those makes from 40-or-more yards. Karty was the only qualified kicker nationally with no misses on the year, and the only kicker with 13 makes of 40+ yards this season.

Dating back to 1996, Karty is just the fourth kicker with at least 18 makes to have a perfect season, and just the third kicker with 10+ makes from 40-or-more yards without a miss. He set the school record with a 61-yard field goal at Cal, and also had makes of 54 yards (vs. BYU) and 53 yards (at Oregon). No kicker nationally had more than three 50+-yard field goals with no misses. Karty's 61-yarder was five yards further than any other kicker this season. Karty was named Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week four times in 2022 and a Lou Groza Award Star of the Week twice. For his career, Karty is 51-for-52 on PATs and 28-for-34 on field goals. His five career misses have come from 49, 51, 54, 55 and 58 yards. - Stanford Football

  11/29/22 - Patrick Fields, rSr/2023, Stanford, 5-11, 203 (DS#999 FS) + More +

  2022 WUERFFEL TROPHY FINALIST: Patrick Fields, Stanford,...For the second straight season, Stanford's fifth-year safety Patrick Fields has been named a finalist for the Wuerffel Trophy. Fields is joined by Florida State's Dillan Gibbons and Minnesota's Tanner Morgan as the three finalists. The winner will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 8. A two-time graduate at Oklahoma, Fields is studying for his master's in management science and engineering at Stanford. He was one of three finalists for the award last season at Oklahoma, which ultimately was received by Cardinal quarterback Isaiah Sanders. Fields has been active in the Stanford community since joining the Cardinal program from Oklahoma in January. He planned and executed a three-day mentorship and networking event prior to Juneteenth in his hometown of Tulsa, Okla. The event brought together high school and college students with black business owners, leaders and mentors, to teach the students about the college admissions process and financial resources available to them.

Fields raised the funds to make all events during the three days free to those who attended and hopes to give out academic scholarships through the event in the future. While at Oklahoma, Fields founded the Black Wall Street Scholarship, collaborating with the president of the OU National Black Alumni Association to establish an endowment with the purpose of providing scholarships for underrepresented and lower income students from inner-city Tulsa. In July of 2021, Fields founded and coordinated the Patrick Fields Back to School Bash and football camp for economically vulnerable elementary students in Tulsa. He is passionate about educating students, especially underrepresented students, about financial literacy, money management, credit and personal branding, and founded Town Business to do just that in Tulsa. Established in 2005, the Wuerffel Trophy honors college football players who serve others, celebrate their impact, and inspire greater service in the world. - Stanford Football

  11/27/22 - *Tanner McKee, Jr/2023, Stanford, 6-6, 231 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Stanford coach David Shaw resigned Saturday night after finishing his 12th season at his alma mater with a 36-25 loss to BYU that dropped the Cardinal to 3-9. Shaw, 50, led Stanford to five double-digit win seasons, with three Pac-12 titles and Rose Bowl appearances in his first six years as head coach. He finished with more wins than any coach in program history with a 96-54 record, and was considered one of the most respected coaches in the country. Shaw arrived unusually late to his postgame news conference and said his decision only came in the last few days. "A week ago, 10 days ago, I was gung-ho to be the person to lead us there, and over the last few days I realized it was time," Shaw said. "It was time for me to step aside, time for the next group to come in, and hopefully whoever they hire next wins more games than I do. That would be awesome." The falloff in recent years has been drastic. The Cardinal are 14-28 over the last four seasons as the program has struggled to keep up in a rapidly changing college football landscape with players transferring more freely and earning money for name, image and likeness.

Stanford is 3-16 in Pac-12 play the past two seasons, including consecutive losses to rival California. "There are a lot of people that think this program is down. That's what our record says," Shaw said. "But I look at the components. I look at the people here, the support that I'm hearing coming from our athletic director, from our university president, the people that are behind the scenes. We're not that far away." Shaw, a California native who played receiver for Stanford in the early 1990s, replaced Jim Harbaugh as head coach in 2011. He had been offensive coordinator for Harbaugh from 2007-10. Shaw spent nine seasons as an NFL assistant before joining Harbaugh's staff at the University of San Diego and then following him to Stanford. - AP College Football

  11/19/22 - Tuna Altahir, rSr/2027, Stanford, 6-0, 225 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Kekoa Visperas threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Tuna Altahir scored two touchdowns and Eastern Washington snapped a three-game losing streak with a 45-21 win over Northern Colorado on Saturday night in the season finale for both teams. Visperas, in his first career start, completed 17 of 21 passes for 235 yards and his 6-yard TD run capped a nine-play, 75-yard opening drive. Altahir finished with 23 carries for 153 yards rushing.

Dylan McCaffrey threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Noah Ford and Nick Ciccio picked off a pass from Visperas and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown to give Northern Colorado (3-8, 2-6 Big Sky) a 14-7 lead late in the second quarter. Silas Perreiah answered with a 2-yard touchdown run and, after the Bears went three-and-out, Visperas hit Altahir for a 7-yard TD to give Eastern Washinton (3-8, 2-6) the lead for good at 21-14 with 28 seconds left in the first half.

  11/13/22 - Ben Gulbranson, rSr/2026, Stanford, 6-3, 215 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Oregon State's Ben Gulbranson threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score, and the Beavers' defense turned in another strong performance in a 38-10 victory Saturday night over California. Oregon State (7-3, 4-3 Pac-12) got a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown from Anthony Gould, and did enough offensively to control the game with 362 total yards. Damien Martinez had his fourth consecutive 100-yard rushing game with 105 yards on 23 carries. Gulbranson completed 15 of 23 passes for 137 yards, and is 4-1 since replacing Chance Nolan as the Beavers' starting quarterback. Oregon State is guaranteed of having a winning season for the second consecutive year. A week after scoring 35 points in a loss at USC, the Bears (3-7, 1-6 conference) were limited to 160 total yards and didn't score an offensive touchdown. It was one of Oregon State's most impressive defensive games of the season. - Oregon State/AP College Football

  10/26/22 - Casey Filkins, Sr/2024, Stanford, 5-11, 206 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  For the second time this season, Stanford must do without its leading rusher. First, it was E.J. Smith. This time, it's Casey Filkins. Head coach David Shaw announced Tuesday that Filkins "will be out a significant portion" of the season, "if not the rest of the year." Filkins has run for 478 yards on 122 carries (3.9 average). The junior suffered an arm injury at the end of a 23-yard run late in the third quarter of the Cardinal's 15-14 win over Arizona State on Saturday. The Sun Devils' Khoury Bethley was flagged for a late hit out of bounds on the play. Smith rushed for 206 yards in two games before he was sidelined for the rest of the season with an undisclosed injury. Though Stanford now is down its top two running backs, Shaw expressed optimism that the Cardinal can overcome those losses. - San Francisco Chronicle
