A Remarkable Season
Evan Crenshaw, a senior punter from Troy University, has been selected to the Walter Camp Preseason All‑America Second Team, a distinction that places him among the nation’s elite special‑teams players as the new college football season approaches.
During the previous campaign Crenshaw logged 21 punts that traveled at least 50 yards, and he placed 29 of his kicks inside the opponents’ 20‑yard line. His average of 45.69 yards per punt ranked 17th nationally and stood as the second‑best single‑season mark in Troy’s history, helping the Trojans secure 11th‑place in the country for net punting.
National Recognition
The Walter Camp Award, established over a century ago, remains the oldest All‑America recognition in college football. The foundation, founded by the eponymous coach, not only honors top performers but also continues to shape the sport through its historical contributions, including rule innovations introduced at Yale in 1880.
Crenshaw’s consistency earned him the Ray Guy National Punter of the Week honor after a standout performance against Buffalo, where he averaged 52.2 yards per punt in a 28‑24 victory. With his blend of leg strength and precision, he is poised to be a key factor for Troy as it aims to climb higher in the rankings.
