Florida punter [autotag]Jeremy Crawshaw[/autotag] and defensive lineman [autotag]Cam Jackson[/autotag] are headed to the Senior Bowl after both accepted invitations on Thursday.
Jackson has started nine of 10 games for the Gators this season, playing more than 360 snaps for the Gators and coming off the sidelines just once (against Texas). He has amassed 28 tackles (eight solo, including one tackle for loss) and has earned a 74.7 grade on defense from Pro Football Focus, which ranks seventh in the SEC among senior defensive linemen who have played at least 250 snaps.
Crawshaw, a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award, is fourth in the country with an average punt of 46.21 yards over 42 attempts — 1,987 yards total — with a long of 62 yards. He’s booted 16 balls more than 50 yards and pinned 22 inside the 20-yard line while sending just two into the endzone for a touchback.
He ranks third among all FBS punters and second in the SEC with an 86.8 grade from PFF. Although special teams kickers aren’t usually considered draft prospects, a punter this talented could warrant a reach from an NFL program.
