AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Greater Augusta Sports Council announced today the top ten semi-finalists for the third annual Ray Guy Award recognizing the nation's top collegiate punter, and Bowling Green State University's Pat Fleming is on the list. Each of the 45 punters on the watch list was evaluated on his overall statistics and contribution to his team with emphasis placed on the following categories: net average, percentage of total punts inside the 20, average return yardage and percent not returned.
These various components are what made Ray Guy, the award's namesake, a most exceptional punter and these characteristics are indicative of the nation's top collegiate punter. Ray Guy, a former NFL punter (Oakland Raiders, 1973-1986) is a native of the Augusta, Georgia area, currently residing in Thomson, Georgia.
The 2002 Ray Guy Award recipient will be announced on Thursday, December 12, 2002 on the ESPN College Football Awards Show. The winner will again be honored at the Greater Augusta Sports Awards Gala in Augusta, Georgia. Also honored at the Gala will be the 10th Annual G.A.M.E.S. (Greater Augusta Medals for Excellence in Sports) Award winners.
