BOONE, N.C. — App State punter
Xavier Subotsch has been named to the watch list for the Ray Guy Award, which honors the nation's top punter.
Last season, Subotsch's net punting average of 40.3 yards (kick length minus return yardage) led full-time starters in the Sun Belt. Of his 36 punts, there were 12 fair catches and 11 kicks inside the 20, as opponents had only 39 punt return yards (on 18 attempts) with a long return of 11 yards all season.
App State ranked No. 11 nationally (and No. 1 the Sun Belt) by allowing 2.2 yards per punt return and No. 23 nationally (and No. 2 in the Sun Belt) by allowing 3.3 punt return yards per game.
A super senior from Australia, Subotsch has played in 52 career games, and his 26 punts inside the 20 during the 2019 season set a school record.
