Overview

The 2005 Lou Groza Award winner as the nation's best kicker, Serna leaves Oregon State as the Pac-10's second-leading all-time scorer with 383 points and has proven to be effective in poor weather situations. As impressive as Serna's career numbers are, he faces an uphill battle in getting drafted as his accuracy dropped each year of his career.
