Koo, 23, went undrafted out of Georgia Southern. He will be replacing Lambo, who converted exactly 26 of 32 kicks (81.3 percent) and missed four extra points each of the past two seasons.
Koo only moved to the United States before sixth grade. He was 26 of 29 on field goals during his college career.
