SEC media somehow left Peyton Woodring off their preseason All-SEC teams
Woodring has been Georgia's kicker for three years now. He has been very reliable for his entire career, but last season he was at his best.
He finished the 2025 campaign hitting 17 of 19 field goal attempts with a season long of 53 yards. He was also perfect in PAT's for the third season in a row. His 2025 season was good enough for him to be named to the All-SEC second team by the AP voters and the SEC coaches last season. That fact alone should've cemented his place on a 2025 preseason team, but that was not the case.
There really is no explanation for why he wasn't included. Kicking isn't a position that is really impacted by anything an opposing team does on the field, so the best kickers in the league tend to stay at the top for their entire careers. No one is saying Woodring should've been on the first team, but the fact that he wasn't included on any of the three teams is shocking.
Oklahoma kicker Tate Sandell made the All-SEC first team, and this selection was extremely fair as he was named to the 2025 All-SEC first team at the end of last season. Ole Miss kicker Lucas Carneiro was named to the second team and Auburn's Alex McPherson made the third team in place of Woodring.
Woodring hopefully will be able to use this as motivation to have an even better season this year. He however probably doesn't care that much that he didn't make the cut because the only thing that matters is if he makes one of these three teams at the end of the season.
