Spike is next in that cat
egory with 12 in the
Auburn game of 1969.
Spike (1968) and the
late Don Golden (1972)
hold the record for punt
ing yards in a season with
3,092 yards.
Perhaps, a case
could be made for Bobby
Walden, a specialist who
was capable of exception
al stardom at halfback, as
Georgia most talented
punter. He was such a
versatile player in Cairo
that Tennessee recruited
him to play tailback in
the Vols’ single wing sys
tem. With the Edmonton
Eskimos of the Canadian
League, before his NFL
career began, he led the
team in punting, rushing
and receiving.
In a 14-year NFL ca
reer, briefly with the Vi
kings, and later with the
Steelers, he set multiple
records for Pittsburgh
and was the punter for
the winning Super Bowl
teams of 1974/75. He
had thunder in his foot
and still holds the record
for punting average for
a game: 63.0-yard aver
age with three kicks for
189 yards versus Texas at
Austin in 1958.
Golden, one of the
many successful quar
terbacks out of Valdosta,
had a classic leg swing
through the ball. He
looked like Tom Weis-
kopf swinging a driver in
his prime. You see Gold
en’s name listed in nu
merous punting records
in the Bulldog football
media guide. Another
punter with frequent
references in the record
book is Drew Butler,
who holds the record for
punting average in a sea
son with 48.1 in 2009.
The mark for punting
yards for a career belongs
to the laid back Gordon
Ely-Kelso, who would get
the highest of marks for
consistency. His record
for career punting yard
age is an amazing 9,140
and is likely to stand for
a while.
Carmarda, from Nor-
cross, is 6-2,180, with
three varsity letters. He
punted for an average of
57.7 yards versus South
Carolina in 2019. He is
a Ray Guy Award final
ist; he is the holder for
placement kicks unless
he is kicking off himself,
which he did for the last
seven games last year.
He has always been
a dedicated weight lifter,
avidly following the pro
tocols for his position
and attributes that for
his leg strength. He has
constantly practiced his
drop. When he was a
lifeguard in the summer
and there was weather
warming, he would go
practice his drop. He has
always underscored fun
damentals, stressing the
basics for competency
and improvement.
Entering the season,
Camarda holds two re
cords: net putting for
a career with 40.8 and
punting average for a ca
reer with 45.5. He is in
second and third place
in “net punting for a sea
son.”
He is enjoying a sen
sational ride, with high
fives from every direc
tion. And don’t forget
this. He could be some
where in the NFL as we
speak.
