TULSA, Okla. –– The Ray Guy Award announced today that The University of Tulsa punter Lachlan Wilson has been added to the watch list for the award.

Wilson, a 6'3" freshman from Eaglemont, Victoria, Australia, had a 48-yard punt to the UCF 9-yard line that eventually led to a safety and Tulsa's first 2 points of the game late in the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter, he punted his career-long 67-yarder to the UCF 4. In the 3rd quarter with Tulsa trailing 26-25, Wilson had a 36-yard punt downed at the UCF 4-yard line.
With Tulsa leading 31-26 and 8:19 left on the game clock, Wilson had a pivotal 43-yard punt downed at the UCF 1-yard line.
In two games, Wilson averages 41.4 yards on 14 punts with six inside the 20-yard line, five fair-caught and a long of 67 yards.
