Ohio State punter Jesse Mirco was one of 49 college football players appearing on the 2023 preseason Ray Guy Award watch list.
The Ray Guy Award is handed out annually to the best punter in the game and has been awarded since the year 2000. The Augusta Sports Council is the organization that judges the yearly performances for the honor.
Mirco, originally from Freemantle, Australia, was one of ten semifinalists last season. He averaged 45.4 yards per punt in 2022 and had a total of 37 punts downed inside the 20-yard line. He continued the long line of very good punters coming out of ProKick Australia.
For his career, Mirco has averaged 44.2 yards per punt. He’s hoping to improve on last year’s and his career average as things play out in 2023.
Congratulations to our 2023 Pre-Season
Watch List punters!
