Australia native's punting average last season was the highest at TCU since 2012

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- TCU's Jordy Sandy has been named to the watch list for the Ray Guy Award, presented annually to the nation's top punter.

An All-Big 12 selection in 2020, Sandy's career-high 43.3-yard average last season was the best by a Horned Frog since Ethan Perry's 44.5 mark in 2012. Thirteen of Sandy's 43 punts went inside the 20, including six inside the 10, with just three touchbacks. Opponents were held to 10 punt return yards on the season. He averaged 50.4 yards on five punts in the 34-32 win over Cal. Included in that effort was a 64-yard punt, TCU's longest since 2014. He also had a 62-yard punt downed at the 1-yard line versus Texas, one of his eight punts of at least 50 yards on the year.

A senior from Traralgon, Australia, Sandy has placed 63 punts inside the 20 with just 11 touchbacks in his career. He has only six touchbacks over the past two seasons.
