Former UGA, NFL punter Butler to visit Macon Touchdown Club

          Winner of the Ray Guy Award and former Georgia and NFL punter Drew Butler is the Macon Touchdown Club’s guest speaker Monday night at the Methodist Home for Children and Youth on Pierce Ave.

          The program begins at 6:30 p.m., and includes dinner, awards, and the talk. Cost is $35 for non-members. Membership for the year is $250.

          Georgia Tech assistant and former Alabama player Vinnie Sunseri is next week’s speaker, followed by Baylor head coach Dave Aranda.

          Butler, born in Illinois, is the son of legendary UGA and Chicago Bears punter Kevin Butler. The Peachtree Ridge grad punted for Mark Richt in Athens from 2007-11, leading the nation in 2009, when he won the Ray Guy Award and was a unanimous All-American.

          He was signed by Pittsburgh in 2012 as an undrafted rookie free agent, and punted in 16 games that year with a 43.8-yard average. He was unemployed for the 2013 season and signed with Arizona in 2014 and lasted three seasons.

          Butler retired with a career average of 42.9 yards on 216 punts four seasons.

          He got into consulting after retiring, and currently co-hosts the Punt & Pass podcast with former Houston County and Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, who will speak at the Club on Nov. 16
