Punter Hayden Craig commits to Florida Gators
The Florida Gators have landed a punter from the 2025 class and it’s a full-ride scholarship offer.
Hayden Craig, who hails from Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton, Maine, just announced his commitment to Florida. He was in Gainesville on Tuesday and only took about 24 hours before pulling himself off the market.
Ole Miss is another school that offered a scholarship to the rising senior.
With Jeremy Crawshaw entering his final season, we are told Craig is expected to fill that opening.
While he is unranked with On3, Kohl’s Professional Camps does have multiple rankings for Hayden Craig, labeling him the No. 18 punter along with the No. 56 kicker. He measures in at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds.

“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!”
With Craig on board, the Gators now hold commitments from five prospects in the 2025 class. Their class ranking is good for 52nd nationally.
