Peyton Woodring enters the 2026 season as the focal point of Georgia’s special‑teams unit, carrying the weight of a position that has rarely seen turnover in recent years.
A Record of Reliability
His career field‑goal conversion sits at 88.1 percent, and he has converted 17 of 21 attempts from beyond 40 yards over the past two seasons. In 2025 he missed only two kicks all year, a testament to a consistency that coaches have come to trust.
The departure of long snapper Beau Gardner to the NFL introduces a new variable, but Woodring’s proven precision is expected to remain a steady anchor amid the change.
Looking Ahead
With the Bulldogs’ recruiting pipeline delivering top talent to the kicking game, Woodring’s role will extend beyond mere reliability. His ability to contribute points from distance will be crucial as Georgia seeks to maintain offensive momentum in a competitive landscape.
Teammates and staff alike view his presence as a stabilizing force, a product of sustained development that has helped the program avoid the roller‑coaster performances that have plagued other teams at the position.
