AUGUSTA, Ga. - San José State punter Trent Carrizosa has been named to the Ray Guy Award Ray’s Eight list for Week Eight, as announced by the Augusta Sports Council on Monday. This marks the second time in his career that Carrizosa has earned the national weekly honor recognizing top punting performances across college football.
Carrizosa delivered a dominant special teams performance on the road against Nevada.
Career-Highs: Launched a career-high 11 punts for 510 total yards, matching NIU (Sept. 5) for the single-game high in the FBS this season.
Precision Pinning: Dropped a career-best five punts inside the 20-yard line, constantly flipping field position.
Booming Distance: Averaged 46.4 yards per punt, backed by a game-long punt of 60 yards.
Top of Conference: Carrizosa has 16 punts inside the 20 this season, which is tied for first in the Mountain West, and his 43.96 average is the second-highest in the conference.
The Ray Guy Award—named after Pro Football Hall of Fame punter Ray Guy—is presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate punter. The Ray’s Eight selection process highlights eight standout punters each week based on overall performance, distance, net average, and inside-the-20 pinning efficiency.
NEXT GAME: The Spartans host New Mexico on Oct. 31 at 1:00 p.m., and tickets can be purchased here. The game will be seen on NBC Sports Bay Area and MW+.
