Arkansas State's Grace Named Ray Guy Award National Punter of the Week

JONESBORO, Ark. – Arkansas State senior punter Cody Grace was named the Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week on Tuesday for his performance during the Red Wolves’ road game against Georgia State last Saturday.

Grace was tabbed by the Augusta Sports Council and the Ray Guy Award as a Ray’s 8 selection for the second consecutive week before earning the award’s national punter of the week recognition. He is a two-time Ray Guy Award semifinalist and is on this year’s watch list for the honor, issued annually to the top punter in the country.

Also named the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following each of the Red Wolves’ last two games, Grace pinned Georgia State inside its own 20-yard line four times on five punts.
