The junior from Norcross, Georgia, is a semifinalist for the Ray Guy award given to the nations top punter with an average of 47.9 yards per punt, good enough to rank second nationally.
Camarda was named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week twice this season. Once in the Bulldogs season-opener at Arkansas where Camarda downed five punts at the 11-yard line or better and again for his performance in game 5 versus Kentucky, where his only two punts were downed inside the 10-yard line.
Camarda has also garnered All-SEC first team honors along with teammates Ben Cleveland and Richard LeCounte.
