Augusta, Ga. – Bowling Green State University senior Brian Schmiedebusch has been named a candidate for the 2013 Ray Guy Award, given annually to the nation's top collegiate punter. Schmiedebusch was a semifinalist for the award in 2011.

Five of those 11 punts have landed inside the 20, including three inside the 5-yard line. On the season, Schmiedebusch is averaging 40.9 yards per punt with a long of 56 yards. He has dropped 10 of 25 punts inside the 20.
