ATLANTA — Utah punter Tom Hackett won the Ray Guy Award on Thursday night, becoming the third-ever punter in college football history to win the award twice in his career and the second to win in consecutive seasons.
Hackett is the only player in Utah and Pac-12 history to win the award, given annually to the nation's top punter.
Hackett received the award during the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN, which he attended with Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham and several family members from his native Melbourne, Australia. He was also honored as a member of the Walter Camp All-American first team during the broadcast.
