Augusta, Ga. - The Augusta Sports Council and the Ray Guy Award are proud to announce Will Baumann of NC State as the Ray Guy Award Player of the Week.

Baumann had a total of four punts and 221 yards in the home win against Presbyterian College. He averaged 55.25 yards per punt with three marked inside the 20-yard line and 1 touchback. His net average per punt was 50.2 yards. Three of Baumann’s four punts went for 50+ yards with a long punt of 67 yards.

Baumann currently leads the ACC in punting average with 50.2 yards per game.  That mark would rank second in the FBS, however the Pack’s offensive efficiency has kept him off the list.  With only 11 punts this season, the four-year starter doesn’t have enough attempts to qualify for the national rankings.  He averages 2.75 punts per game while the cutoff mark for the FBS rankings is 3.6.

Baumann needs just 10 punts and 226 punting yards to become the school record holder in both of those categories.
