Texas A&M punter Tyler White named to All-SEC team

Texas A&M Aggies true freshman punter Tyler White’s strong year led to him being named to the Freshman All-SEC team

On Thursday, the SEC released its freshman all-SEC list, and standout Texas A&M freshman punter Tyler White made the cut.

White entered the 2024 season in competition with a few other punters to take the starting job. When the season started, he had secured the spot and had an excellent year. The two-time SEC Special Teams Player of the Week was a wizard at controlling where his punts landed with 20 of his 33 kicks in SEC play landed inside the 20-yard line.

He finished the season in the top 10 in multiple punting categories in the SEC and top 25 in the nation with a 44.5 average per punt. White was one of the bright spots on special teams and got better as the year progressed eventually earning him a place as a Ray Guy Award Semifinalist and a Freshman All-SEC selection.

Congratulations to Tyler and we look forward to his future success in Aggieland.

True freshman punter Tyler White has been named a Ray Guy Award Semifinalist

On Friday morning, the Augusta Sports Council announced the 2024 Ray Guy Award Semifinalists. Texas A&M’s true freshman punter Tyler White made the cut as one of the remaining ten.

White has been the special team’s MVP for the season and gives the defense the advantage with his field-flipping kicks. The three-time SEC Special Teams Player of the Week averages 45.3 yards per punt and leads the SEC in punts inside the 20-yard line with 16. He is an under-the-radar asset that can help a coaching staff when they have those games that turn into a battle of field position.

Below is the social media announcement that Tyler White has been named a Ray Guy Award Semifinalist.

The Augusta Sports Council created the Ray Guy Award in 2000 to honor Thomson, Georgia native and College and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Ray Guy. Punters are evaluated on their overall statistics and contribution to the team. Particular emphasis is placed on net average, percentage of total punts inside the 20-yard line, and percentage of punts not returned. The winner must display team leadership, self-discipline, and have a positive impact on the team’s success.

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”.

Texas A&M freshman punter Tyler White Co-Special Teams Player of the Week for the second consecutive week

Week 6 in the SEC had no shortage of surprises as multiple top ten teams lost games throwing a monkey wrench in the top 25 and power rankings.

However, one thing remained the same as Texas A&M punter Tyler White has a foot of gold and has been one of the better special teams players in the nation. His top-tier punt to pin Missouri deep in their territory was so impressive that he earned the Pop-Tarts “Crazy Good” Play of the Week.

The SEC recognized the freshman’s production after the big week by naming him SEC Player of the Week. Below is the excerpt from the release from the conference officials:

‘Texas A&M’s Tyler White averaged 46.3 yards per punt during the victory over Missouri. His 48-yard punt late in the second quarter pinned Missouri at its own 1-yard line. White’s consistency contributed to Texas A&M’s control of field position throughout the game.”

Watch Texas A&M’s punter Tyler White’s incredible punt before halftime vs. Missouri

Here’s some punter content amid Texas A&M’s 24-0 halftime lead over Missouri

Texas A&M’s Week 6 matchup vs. Missouri is off to a solid start for the Aggies, currently holding a 24-0 halftime lead over the visiting Tigers, as redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman surprisingly made his first start in nearly a month.

Returning to practice this week, Weigman looked like his old self from the first snap, as his footwork, accuracy, and throwing touch were beyond impressive, completing 15/19 for 193 yards while running back Amari Daniels recorded two of the team’s three touchdowns so far.

Defensively, the Aggies shut down the Tigers, allowing just 63 yards through the air and 16 yards on the ground at the half.

However, Texas A&M freshman punter Tyler White’s second-half punt with just seconds remaining was one of the best kicks you’ll see all year, as the former 4-star punter perfectly placed the ball inside the one-yard line and perfectly rolled out of bounds.

This was also Texas A&M’s first punt of the game, as the Aggies scored a touchdown or field goal on every previous drive.

SEC names Texas A&M’s Tyler White Co-Special Teams Player of the Week

Texas A&M freshman punter Tyler White Co-Special Teams Player of the Week

The Texas A&M special teams’ units have been mixed in the first five games. However, true freshman punter Tyler White stood out.

White has the power to flip the field with any kick and enough touch to drop the ball inside of the 20-yard line. It can be argued that he is one of the best punters in the country, and with the Aggies struggling to establish any form of consistency, he puts the defense in the best positions possible to keep games close.

The SEC recognized the freshman’s production after the big week by naming him SEC Player of the Week. Below is the excerpt from the release from the conference officials:

Tyler White punted nine times on the day and averaged 43.1 yards per punt, with seven of those kicks downed inside the 20-yard line and five at the 10-yard line or closer. His efforts helped keep the Arkansas offense deep in their own territory. White’s longest punt of the game was 58 yards, contributing to a key field position advantage for Texas A&M.
