Veltsistas added to Ray Guy Award watch list

Punter off to great start in 2025

BLACKSBURG - Virginia Tech punter Nick Veltsistas has been added to the watch list for the Ray Guy Award which goes to the nation's top FBS punter.

Veltsistas (6-2, 202) has punted 16 times through the first four games of the season for a total of 717 yards, averaging 44.8 yards per punt. The Fairfax, Virginia native has had three kicks of 50-plus yards and four have been downed inside the 20-yard line. His season-long is a 57-yard punt.

The Ray Guy Award winner is selected by a voting body of FBS sports information directors, national media and former Ray Guy Award winners. Punters are evaluated on their overall statistics and contribution to the team. 

The Hokies are on the road at N.C. State Saturday for a 7 p.m. kick on the CW, and will return home to face Wake Forest on Oct. 4.
