Auburn punter [autotag]Oscar Chapman[/autotag] has been named to the Ray Guy Award watch list. He is one of 50 punters to make the watchlist, which will be given to college football’s best punter in December, the Augusta Sports Council announced Wednesday.

From Adelaide, South Australia, Chapman is entering his fourth season as Auburn’s starting punter and was a semifinalist for the award last year after averaging 43.8 yards on 57 punts. He also pinned opposing offenses inside their own 20-yard line 18 times and had 12 punts go over 50 yards.

A complete list of candidates for the award will be released on Nov. 6 and on Nov. 10 the Ray Guy Award committee will announce 10 semifinalists. The winner will then be announced in December from three finalists.
