After being snubbed as a finalist last season, Gamecock punter Kai Kroeger was chosen as a player to watch for the Ray Guy Award in 2023. The Ray Guy Award is given annually to the top punter in college football, and the South Carolina football special teams star is one of the national favorites to win the award this fall.
Despite being arguably the best punter in all of college football a season ago, Kroeger was not selected as one of the three finalists for the Ray Guy Award in 2022.
