Edmiston was also named to the Ray Guy Award Ongoing Watch List.

"It means a lot," the junior said on Monday. "Like, it's a good accomplishment. It was one of my goals to be named on the watch list and get added to a Ray's 8 this year. Knowing I accomplished my goal is a good feeling, but also, I can't put all my attention on it. It's good to have, but I got to keep focusing and even getting better to help our my team."

Edmiston, a native of Ocean Springs, Miss. had a career day for the Brown and Gold against Colorado State. He averaged over 50 yards per punt in the contest with a punt of 65 yards, for the second longest of his career. He also pinned the Rams inside their 20-yard line a total of five times.

This season, Edmiston is averaging 45.3 yards per punt and has pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 16 times.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert GagliardiJared NewlandRyan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
