San José State University punter Trent Carrizosa has been named to the Ray Guy Award Ray’s Eight list for Week Eight, as announced by the Augusta Sports Council on October 26, 2026. This marks the second time Carrizosa has earned this national weekly honor recognizing top punting performances in college football.
In San José State’s road game against Nevada, Carrizosa punted 11 times for 510 total yards, tying for the Football Bowl Subdivision single-game high this season. He placed a career-best five punts inside the 20-yard line, helping to flip field position consistently. His punting average for the game was 46.4 yards, with a long punt of 60 yards.
For the season, Carrizosa has 16 punts inside the 20-yard line, tied for first in the Mountain West Conference. He also ranks second in the conference with a 43.96-yard punting average. The Ray Guy Award is presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate punter, and the Ray’s Eight weekly selection highlights eight of the best punters each week based on overall performance, distance, net average, and punts inside the 20.
The San José State Spartans will next host New Mexico on October 31 at 1:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Bay Area and MW+.
