The Arizona State product finished up his career with 96 successful field goal attempts out of 116. He hit 7 of 9 kicks from over 50 yards, which is impressive for a college kicker.

Gonzalez won first-team All-American and All Pac – 12 honors as a senior, which bodes well for the placekicker in the draft.
