Georgia senior punter Brett Thorson is the latest award winner in Athens. Thorson won the Ray Guy Award on Friday night.

The award celebrates college football’s best punter for a given season. Thorson has once again been a weapon for Georgia’s special teams in 2025.

He missed the first game of the season after suffering a torn ACL in the 2024 SEC Championship Game win over Texas.

Thorson has come back strong from the injury. In 42 punts, Thorson is averaging 45.2 yards per punt. He dropped 21 punts inside the 20-yard line this season. He has a long of 66 yards.

Thorson came to Georgia from Australia. He has taken a lot of stock in his experiences in Athens in his career. He has been Georgia’s punter for four years. Thorson takes nothing for granted in his final year in Athens.

“Coming from Australia, I think I’ve always had a really good appreciation for the things I’ve gotten to experience over here,” Thorson told reporters earlier this season. “And going into this last year where I know it’s my last, there are no waivers or COVID years or anything I can add to the end of this. So, just taking it all in and being extremely appreciative of this opportunity that I’ve had and the opportunities we’re going to have going forward. It’s definitely been the experience of a lifetime.”

Georgia and Thorson will be back in action on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
