Jackson Ross is Tennessee’s field-position assassin
In the 2026 season, Tennessee punter Jackson Ross enters as a returning Ray Guy Award semifinalist and one of the SEC’s most reliable field-position weapons, with 63 career punts downed inside the 20 and 22 boots of 50+ yards. His calling card is hang time, placement, and consistency: he has averaged 43.4 yards per punt for his career, and in 2024 he led the nation in punts downed inside the 10. If your team wants a veteran punter who flips the field and brings Australian-style polish, Ross fits beautifully.
