Florida lands Big Ten punter out of transfer portal

The first addition for Florida out of the winter transfer portal period is former Michigan punter Tommy Doman, a veteran replacement for Jeremy Crawshaw after graduation.

Former Michigan punter [autotag]Tommy Doman[/autotag] has committed to the Florida Gators, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. Doman confirmed the news with an update to his Instagram bio, which now reads “4th down quarterback @gatorsfb.”

Doman serves as a bridge at the position for Florida between senior Jeremy Crawshaw and incoming freshman Hayden Craig. Crawshaw is one of the best special teamers in program history. Florida also has returning walk-on Nicholas Ingles on the roster.

A rising fifth-year senior, Doman averaged 43 yards per punt on 102 attempts with the Wolverines, placing 37 inside the 20-yard line with longs of 71 yards in 2023 and 68 in 2024. His average hang time is 4.26 seconds. Doman also served as Michigan’s kickoff specialist and holder on placekicks.

Pro Football Focus gave him a 77.9 punting grade in 2024, which is tied for the 16th-best figure across the FBS. In 2023, PFF gave him an 81.5 grade, good for 10th overall among punters.

Doman is the first transfer addition for Florida in the winter cycle.
