BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell's Corey Petersen has been added to the FCS Punter of the Year Watch List, presented by the Augusta Sports Council.

Petersen, a Traralgon, Australia native, is averaging 40.4 yards per punt so far this season, racking up a high of 56 yards on 12 tries. Petersen has forced four fair catches, while pinning opponents inside the 20 four times.

Petersen was named to the Big South's preseason all-conference team in July.

The Augusta Sports Council, also home to the Ray Guy Award (awarded to the best collegiate punter in the FBS), created the FCS Punter of the Year Award in 2019 to honor the best collegiate punter playing in the FCS. Among the statistics used to identify the winner is net punting average, number of times punt is downed or kicked out of bounds inside the opponents 20-yard line, total yardage punted, average returned yardage and percentage of punts not returned with particular emphasis placed on net punting average. The winner must display team leadership, self-discipline and have a positive impact on the team's success.

Petersen and the Camels return to Barker-Lane Stadium on Saturday, hosting North Carolina Central at noon.
