Gators add commitment from punter Hayden Craig

Florida adds a punter commitment in the 2025 class

The Florida Gators have been on the lookout for a punter addition for the 2025 class. That search came to an end on Wednesday, when North Bridgton (ME) Academy punter Hayden Craig joined the class. He announced that commitment following a visit to campus on Tuesday of this week.

Sources have informed Swamp247 that Craig will be on scholarship.

Florida currently has one scholarship punter on the roster in senior Jeremy Crawshaw, but will see him exhaust his eligibility at the conclusion of the upcoming season. Florida also has punter Jack Muse on the roster as a walk on. He joined the team this spring. So the plan this cycle has been to add a scholarship punter for the future to the roster, and that objective has now been hit.

With this acquisition, Florida’s commitment list for their 2025 recruiting class now stands at five. Among the other names in the Gators recruiting class is Tallahassee, Florida. The four-star edge of James RickardsPlant four-star running back Waltz Clark, Havana, Florida; Jalen Wiggins, Tampa, Fla. Three-star defensive lineman Jeramiah McCloud from Gadsden County and three-star running back Chad Gasper from Fulshear, Texas, are from Katy Jordan.

Though he is currently unrated on 247Sports, Kohls Kicking Service rates him as a four-star punter. In Kohls’ ranking, he is also listed as the No. 18 punter. Their scouting report on Craig is shown below.

“Craig attended the 2024 Kohl’s Eastern Showcase Camp in May. He had a strong showing and a well-rounded day. Craig scored 12/15 points on field goals and 104.15 points on kickoffs. His best kickoff was a 65-yard kickoff with 4.00 seconds of hang time. His punting drill work was at the D1 level and he scored 105.6 points on his punt charts. Craig has some of the best leg talent as a combo athlete in the 2025 class. Craig earned a rating of 4.5-stars in December of 2023 with a good day at a winter Showcase Camp. He scored 11 points on field goals,106.4 points on kickoffs, and 103.4 points on punts. His biggest kickoff traveled 71 yards and had 3.75 seconds of hang-time. His best punt went 46 yards and had 4,31 seconds of hang-time. Craig is a very good combo kicker/punter who could improve a college team’s roster with his leg talent!”
