Air Force senior punter Luke Freer has been named one of the Ray Guy Eight for his performance in last week’s game against Utah State, according to an announcement from the organization.
Freer, who is included on the 2025 Ray Guy Award watch list, set a new all-time record for career punting average at Air Force during the Utah State matchup. He punted three times with an average of 56.7 yards per punt and recorded a long of 60 yards. His first punt in that game marked his 50th career attempt, meeting the minimum required to qualify for records. Freer’s career average now stands at 46.5 yards per punt, surpassing the previous record held by All-American Mark Simon.
So far this season, Freer is averaging 53.3 yards per punt. This figure would place him nearly six yards ahead of any other punter in the Mountain West Conference and two yards ahead nationally; however, he does not have enough attempts to officially qualify for those rankings.
Other honorees this week include Aidan Laros (Kentucky), Angus Davies (Tulsa), Brett Thorson (Georgia), Dylan Joyce (Miami), Jack Bouwmeester (Texas), Jack McCallister (Purdue), and Keelan Crimmins (Illinois).
