As of Wednesday, the Ravens have no punter.<\/p>\n<p>There are a handful of available punters still on the market, and the Ravens could certainly explore those options, which include Jamie Gillan, Matt Haack, and Thomas Morstead. However, if the Ravens&#8217; brass opts to find a Stout replacement via the draft, there are plenty of options there as well.<\/p>\n<p>Regarded as the top punter in this year&#8217;s draft class, Georgia&#8217;s Brett Thorson is one name to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Thorson was the 2025 Ray Guy Award winner (given to the nation&#8217;s best punter). An Australian native, Thorson averaged 45.5 yards per punt in 2025 with a 43.5 net average, landing 50% of his boots inside the 20-yard line. He has plenty of power to go along with his touch, with five punts going 60 yards or more last season. He also had a career-long 75-yard punt as a freshman in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Other top punters in this year&#8217;s draft include Syracuse&#8217;s Jack Stonehouse, Florida&#8217;s Tommy Doman, and Michigan State&#8217;s Ryan Eckley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robertson: I think this is one of the most under-the-radar storylines for the Ravens this offseason.
