Kent State junior Derek Adams (Manheim, Pa.) was one of 27 student-athletes named to the 2018 Ray Guy Award preseason watch list Wednesday by the Augusta Sports Council. The Ray Guy Award is presented annually to the nation's top punter.
An All-Mid-American Conference Second Team selection in 2017, Adams finds himself on the preseason watch list for the second straight year. He was also recently named to Athlon's preseason All-MAC First Team. After two seasons, Adams ranks second in career punting average at Kent State, while his 43.6 yard average in 2017 ranks as the second best season in school history.
