Iowa Football has arguably the best punter in the nation. Tory Taylor should be a favorite for the Ray Guy Award.

For the second straight season, the Iowa Football program has an Australian punter. Tory Taylor, standing at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, has been a massive addition for the Hawkeyes in 2020 (pun intended), and his instant success should warrant him consideration for the Ray Guy Award.

Taylor, a 23-year-old true freshman, hails from Melbourne, Australia, where the common name for American football is “footy”.
