Kentucky’s Max Duffy was named this year’s Ray Guy Award winner, going to the nation’s top punter. Duffy was announced by Ryan Guy, Ray Guy’s son, as the 2019 winner live on ESPN during the College Football Awards Show at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

Duffy edged Dane Roy of Houston and Sterling Hofrichter of Syracuse for the honor. The winner was determined by the Ray Guy Award national voting body which consists of FBS sports information directors, national media and previous Ray Guy Award winners. Duffy was also the Fan Vote winner which counted as one vote towards the overall count.

The Australian native leads the nation in punting with a 48.60 average and was named to Coaches All-Southeastern Conference Team and the Associated Press All-SEC First Team. He is also Kentucky’s all-time leading career punter with 46.47 yards on 107 punts. This season, Duffy was selected as a member of “Ray’s 8” four times this season and was named Punter of the Week twice.
