RALEIGH, NC – Redshirt junior punter Caden Noonkester is among the Ray Guy Award Ray's 8 of the Week, given to the nation's top eight punters of the week.
Noonkester again shined for the Wolfpack in their 24-17 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday. A big key to that Wolfpack victory was NIU's average start on their own 18-yard line, as Noonkester placed seven of his eight punts inside the 20. This season, he ranks eighth in the FBS in punting with a 46.5-yard per kick mark and has had 13 50+ yard punts this season in just five games. He had four over 50 in the win over Northern Illinois.
Ray's 8 honors eight punters weekly who had the best punting performance over the weekend. A fan vote will determine the winner of the weekly award. Fans can vote at rayguyaward.com
The Ray Guy Award winner is selected by a voting body of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) sports information directors, national media, and former Ray Guy Award winners. Punters are evaluated on their overall statistics and contribution to the team. Particular emphasis is placed on the following statistics: net average, percentage of total punts inside the 20-yard line, and percentage of punts not returned.
