Robertson: I think this is one of the most under-the-radar storylines for the Ravens this offseason.
Jordan Stout will no longer be booting balls for the Ravens after a career year that landed him a lucrative contract with the Giants. As of Wednesday, the Ravens have no punter.
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’ brass opts to find a Stout replacement via the draft, there are plenty of options there as well.
Regarded as the top punter in this year’s draft class, Georgia’s Brett Thorson is one name to watch.
Thorson was the 2025 Ray Guy Award winner (given to the nation’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.
Other top punters in this year’s draft include Syracuse’s Jack Stonehouse, Florida’s Tommy Doman, and Michigan State’s Ryan Eckley.
