WBRZ - Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE - Another day, two more Tigers on national award watch lists.

Sophomore punter Brad Wing and senior kicker Drew Alleman were named to the Ray Guy and Lou Groza Award watch lists, respectively.

Wing, a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award in 2011, averaged 44.4 yards per punt last season. One of those punts went for 73 yards against Alabama in Tuscaloosa, which stands as the third-longest punt in LSU history.

Alleman only missed two field goals in 2011, and leads the program in all-time accuracy with a field goal percentage of .889 heading into 2012.

In 2011, Alleman was an honorable mention All-America selection by Sports Illustrated, and Wing was an AP First Team All-American.
