Utah’s kicking duo of placekicker Matt Gay and punter Mitch Wishnowsky on Tuesday were named first-team preseason All-Americans by the Associated Press today — the latest in a list of preseason honors for the Ute specialists.
Both are returning consensus All-Americans — Wishnowsky in 2016 and Gay in 2017 — and both have won the top award at their position. Wishnowsky won the Ray Guy Award in 2016 and Gay won the Lou Groza Award in 2017. Utah is the only school in NCAA history to have a Ray Guy Award and Lou Groza Award winner on the same squad.
