Crawshaw making an impact as first Gator from Down Under

Australians are rapidly taking over the punting duties in college football.

About a decade ago, there were maybe a handful of Aussie punters on FBS teams. It was kind of a cool anomaly to see somebody from Australia punting in the SEC.

Now, you pretty much can’t flip on any college football game without at least one of the teams having an Australian punter. According to americanfootballinternational.com, 53 of the 129 FBS teams have a punter from Down Under. Six of the last eight Ray Guy Award winners call Australia home. There are five Australians on NFL rosters.
