Pechin will be punting for the East squad in the East West Shrine Game today. This caps a season where he has established himself as one of the top few FCS punter in history. From the Bucknell article:
“ Among the most decorated players in Bison football history, Pechin is the Patriot League's 14th consensus All-American, the inaugural FCS Punter of the Year and the 2019 STATS FCS Doris Robinson Award Winner as the FCS's top scholar-athlete. In addition, he was recognized on six All-America teams, became the fourth Patriot League student-athlete to make four All-Patriot League First Teams and became the first Patriot League football player to earn three-straight Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards.
Pechin's career awards haul is extensive. Following the 2019 season alone, he has captured 16 individual awards; over the course of his career, he has made 14 All-America squads.
Pechin put an exclamation mark on his legendary career in 2019, shattering his own school record in punting average by 2.2 yards. His 47.3 punting average led the FCS by 1.3 yards, broke the Patriot League record by 1.3 yards and slotted him seventh in FCS history; in addition, it raised his career average to 44.5, a figure good for fifth in the FCS annals.â€
