ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia's Brett Thorson is one of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award given to the country's best punter, according to an announcement from the Augusta Sports Council Tuesday.
 
Thorson, a native of Melbourne, Australia, joins Florida State's Alex Mastromanno and USC's Eddie Czaplicki as the three finalists.  Jake Camarda was the last Bulldog finalist in 2020.  Former Georgia All-American Drew Butler won the 2009 honor.
 
Thorson, a native of Melbourne, Australia, stands fifth nationally with a 46.3 average and has forced 12 fair catches and dropped 19 within the 20 yard line.  Bombing 13 at least 50 yards this season, Thorson has a season long of 58 and has helped put the Bulldogs fifth nationally in Net Punting at 43.5.  Opponents have had six returns for 18 yards, which also stands fifth nationally.  
 
No. 10 Georgia (9-2, 6-2 SEC) plays host to Georgia Tech (7-4, 5-3 ACC) on Friday.  ABC will televise the regular season finale at 7:30 p.m.
