The Gophers have received a commitment from Australian punter Mark Crawford. Crawford is the top international punter in Ray Guy’s ProKicker Camp rankings. His 49.86 average distance was the best mark among all punters in the database. When applying the statistic to this year’s NCAA rankings, Crawford would place No. 1.
His longest punt traveled 57 yards, which was the second-best rep among international punters. Crawford’s best hang time was also 5.02 seconds. No punter on the ProKicker international list posted a hang time that spanned more than five seconds.
