Georgia Football: Top Six kickers in the Bulldogs history

#6: Marshall Morgan

Coming in at No. 6 is Marshall Morgan who kicked for the Bulldogs from 2012-2015.

Most people remember Morgan because he was the starting kicker  Rodrigo Blankenship replaced.

He was probably known for wearing the No. 13 as most kickers wear high numbers, usually in the ’90s. I love the fact he had a different number, and I think that is one of the most memorable things about him, that and his personality.

However, something he doesn’t like having to be known for is colliding with Devon Gales that caused him to be paralyzed and end his college football career.

Morgan still helps the Gales family and keeps in close contact with Devon.

Getting back to his kicking skills,  Morgan made 215-of-220 PAT’s in his career at Georgia, giving him a 97.7 completion percentage.  He made 64-of-84 career field goals completing 76.19 percent.

Morgan went 42 consecutive games kicking at least one field goal in his career as a Dawg. He also scored 407 career points, kicking 113  in 2013 and 115 in 2014. Morgan set an SEC record in the 2013-14 season by making 20 consecutive field goals.

Georgia keeps 28 kicking records, and Morgan shows up at least once on 15 of them. His 215 made PAT’s, and his 220 attempted PAT’s are two  SEC records he set. Morgan also set an SEC Record by making 20-straight field goals.

He is one of the top-five kickers for his accuracy and was really lucky to be on a team that averaged at least 36 points in three of his four years. Georgia averaged 37.8 points in 2012, 36.7 in 2013, 41.3  in 2014, and 26.3 in 2015.

Morgan kicked the game winning 42-yarder in the overtime win at Tennessee in 2013. He also kicked a 56-yarder in that game as well.

While he set a ton of records, Morgan is the No. 6 kicker on the list because he did have a few kicks that still leave a bad taste in my mouth.

However, I’ll give him credit for the stuff he made and for being one of the guys Georgia could count on in a game.
