2026 Ray Guy Award Watch List
To be considered for the Ray Guy Award and the Watch List, a nomination must be submitted by the punter’s Sports Information/Athletic Communications staff via the NCFAA Portal. Nominees for the Ray Guy Award should be the team’s primary punter.
The Ray Guy Award Committee has discretion for the Watch List and Ray Guy Award nominees, and has the right to adjust the Watch List and award nominees at any time for any reason, which may include, but is not limited to, statistical information, incomplete application, and discovery of unacceptable conduct.
The 2026 Preseason Watch List was released on August 14. A Final Watch List will be announced in early November.
