After punter Cameron Johnston graduated last season, it would have been understandable if Ohio State saw a significant drop from the punter who was tasked to replace the Aussie. Drue Chrisman was the punter tabbed to replace Johnston, and the redshirt freshman from Indiana has more than held his own this year.
Today Chrisman was named a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation’s best punter. Last year Johnston was named a finalist for the award, but fell just sort of winning the honor, which was awarded to Utah’s Mitch Wishnowsky, who is once again a semifinalist for the award.
