Florida football punter Jeremy Crawshaw drafted by Denver Broncos in sixth round
Former Florida Gators punter Jeremy Crawshaw was selected by the Denver Broncos with the No. 216 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft. He was the first punter selected in this year's draft.
A native of Australia, Crawshaw arrived at Florida through the famed ProKick Australia program and quickly developed into one of the top specialists in college football.
Over five seasons in Gainesville, Crawshaw rewrote the record books, setting the Gators' all-time mark for career punting average (minimum 90 punts) with a 46.7-yard career clip.
In 2024, Crawshaw handled all punting duties for the Gators, averaging 45.75 yards per punt across 59 attempts, with 25 punts landing inside the opponent's 20-yard line. His ability to flip field position and pin offenses deep was critical for Florida's special teams success.
Crawshaw earned multiple honors throughout his career, including All-SEC recognition, Resse's Senior Bowl All-American honors and a Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week nod.
Throughout his Florida career, Crawshaw delivered highlight performances, including booming punts over 60 yards against programs like Georgia, Texas and LSU. In the 2023 season, he set the single-season Gators record for punt average at 48.9 yards.
The Broncos add a proven weapon to their special teams unit, landing a player who blends Australian-style control with NFL-level distance and power. With Denver needing a consistent field position asset, Crawshaw could quickly carve out a major role.
