A pleasant surprise this season has been true freshman punter Tyler White. The Texas A&M special team’s ace routinely flips the field for the defense and has enough hangtime to force a fair catch.
Already on the Ray Guy Award Watchlist, Tyler made this week’s Ray’s 8 for their punter of the week, along with seven others. The Ray Guy Award is presented to the best FBS punter in the nation, and during the season, they give out a weekly award called “Rays 8”.
This is the first time he’s made the list with an opportunity to be named Punter of the Week. The three-time SEC Player of the Week kept LSU pinned on their side of the field Saturday night, allowing the defense to settle in and make them work for every point.
Below is the social media announcement that Tyler White has been named Ray Guy’s Punter of the Week.
