Georgia signs nation’s No. 1 punter

Georgia signs nation’s No. 1 punter

Georgia football has locked-in the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2024 cycle with a huge National Signing Day that features 27 signees in total.

The group includes the nation’s top punter Drew Miller. The three-star prospect hails from Mediapolis, Iowa.

Miller (6-foot-2, 195 pounds) is referred to as “Killer Miller” by his Mediapolis High School teammates because of his powerful leg.

Miller earned MaxPreps All-American honors in 2023 for an impressive senior year in which he averaged 49.5 yards per punt with 55 percent landing inside the 20.

Miller will play behind rising junior punter Brett Thorson in Athens.

The nation’s top punter & Georgia commit, Drew Miller, can BOOM it…

Georgia holds a pledge from the No. 1 ranked punter in the nation in 2024 prospect Drew Miller, according to Kohl’s Kicking.

The hang-time on these kicks that Miller recently posted to his Twitter shows he already has the leg power to keep the Bulldogs’ punting unit stacked for years to come.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Mediapolis, Iowa, native averaged 48 yards per punt and also had touchbacks on 51 of his 55 kickoffs in his junior season for Mediapolis High School.

Georgia is in good hands for now with sophomore Australian punter Brett Thorson, who averaged an impressive 45.0 yards on 36 punts, including 19 punts delivered inside opponents’ 20-yard line as a freshman in 2022.

This 75-yard punt versus Tennessee was one of the best special teams plays in recent memory.
