Arellano named Ray Guy Award candidate
PROVO, Utah - The Augusta Sports Council named BYU punter Scott Arellano a candidate for the 2014 Ray Guy Award.
Arellano is one of 80 candidates for this year's award.
The 6-foot-1 senior from Santa Ynez, California, has 2,108 punt yards this season. Against Middle Tennessee, he broke the BYU record for longest punt with an 81-yarder. Arellano has had four games with three punts of 50+ yards, one game with three punts of 60+ yards, 16 total punts of 50+ yards and 19 punts downed inside the 20.
The list will be narrowed to 10 semifinalists Nov. 14. Following the semifinalists announcement, a national body of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) sports information directors, coaches, media representatives and previous Ray Guy Award winners will vote for the top three finalists, who will be identified on Nov. 24. The voting body will then cast ballots to select the winner.
The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured on The Home Depot College Football Awards live on Thursday, December 11 at 7:30 pm ET on ESPN. The show, hosted by ESPN’s Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard will feature live presentation of nine player awards, along with the recipients of Disney’s Spirit Award, The Home Depot Coach of the Year Award, the NCFAA (National College Football Awards Association) Contributions to College Football Award, and student-athletes selected to the Walter Camp All-America Team.
