AUGUSTA, Ga. (November 13) – Army West Point football's James Wagenseller has been named a semifinalist for the 2026 Ray Guy Award.
The senior from Poway, Calif. had been named to the 2026 Ray Guy Award Midseason watch list earlier in the month. He is one of 10 punters to be named an award semifinalist.
Wagenseller's 45.57 net yards per punt has Army ranked first in the American Conference and second in FBS in net punting. Against Memphis on Oct. 31, Wagenseller recorded three punts of longer than 50 yards, including a career-long punt of 74 yards.
The Ray Guy Award - named for football's premier punter - honors the nation's best collegiate punter in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The Augusta Sports Council created the Ray Guy Award in 2000 to honor Thomson, Georgia native and College and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Ray Guy.
Wagenseller was previously named to the Ray's 8 list in Week 2 and Week 9 this season.
