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.

New Florida commit Hayden Craig is one of the best

Below is a recent scouting report from Kohl’s:

“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!”

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