Adam Korsak is one of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award, the Rutgers punter arguably the most impactful player on the Scarlet Knights roster.

So far this season, Korsak is averaging 46 yards per punt on 66 attempts. He has a staggering 35 punts inside the 20-yard line and, equally as impressive is the fact that Korsak hasn’t had a touchback this season.

The Ray Guy Award is given annually to the nation’s top punter. Korsak is joined as a finalist along with Matt Araiza (San Diego State) and Jordan Stout (Penn State). The punters from Rutgers and Penn State are a rarity for the award; the last punter from the Big Ten to win the Ray Guy Award was B.J. Sander of Ohio State in 2003.

Sander is one of two Big Ten punters to win the Ray Guy Award, the other being Wisconsin’s Kevin Stemke in the first year of the award (2000).

On Tuesday, it came out that Korsak would be returning in 2022 for a final season of college football.
