FCS Punter of the Year Website

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tennessee State University football senior Kaleb Mosley was one of three OVC punters named to the 2022 FCS Punter of the Year Preseason Watch List, which honors the nation's top collegiate punter in the FCS, by The Augusta Sports Council.

Mosley joins Murray State's Lewis Halton and Southeast Missouri's Zach Haynes on the list of 22 special teams players to make the watch list, which was compiled based on the 2021 FCS Punter of the Year watch list, the 2021 All-Conference teams, the 2021 All-American Teams, and the 2022 pre-season All-Conference Teams.

Mosley led the OVC with a 41.7 yards per punt average in 2021. He punted 62 times and saw 15 downed inside the 20-yard line and 10 travel 50-plus yards (including a long of 61 yards).

The FCS Punter of the Year Award winner will be voted on by the FCS Punter of the Year Award/Ray Guy Award Committee and will be announced after regular season play commences.

About the FCS Punter of the Year Award
The Augusta Sports Council, also home to the Ray Guy Award (awarded to the best collegiate punter in the FBS), created the FCS Punter of the Year Award in 2019 to honor the best collegiate punter playing in the FCS. Among the statistics used to identify the winner is net punting average, number of times punt is downed or kicked out of bounds inside the opponents 20-yard line, total yardage punted, average returned yardage, and percentage of punts not returned with particular emphasis placed on net punting average. The winner must display team leadership, self-discipline and have a positive impact on the team's success.
