Richardson, Crawshaw named to All-SEC Freshman Team

Redshirt freshman quarterback Anthony Richardson and redshirt freshman punter Jeremy Crawshaw have been named to the All-SEC Freshman Team, the league announced on Thursday.

Richardson appeared in eight games and started one. He completed 59.4 percent of his passes for 529 yards and six touchdowns and ran for 401 yards and three scores on 51 carries.

The first two games of the season was basically the Anthony Richardson Show. He scored on a 73-yard run in the opener against Florida Atlantic. A week later, he threw a 75-yard touchdown pass and ran for an 80-yard touchdown against South Florida. He’s one of just three FBS quarterbacks since 1996 to complete a 75-plus yard pass and break off an 80-plus yard run in the same game.

That 80-yard run is also tied for the third-longest run by an FBS quarterback this season, and it was the ninth-longest touchdown in UF history.

In that same game, he became the first FBS player in the last 25 seasons to rush for 100-plus yards (115), throw for 150-plus yards (152) and complete every pass he threw (3-for-3) in a game.

Richardson is the first Gators quarterback to be named to the All-SEC Freshman Team since Treon Harris in 2014.

Meanwhile, Crawshaw ranks third in the SEC with a gross average of 44.02 yards per punt. He’s boomed 18 punts that have traveled at least 50 yards, including three that went at least 61 yards. He’s had 19 punts downed inside the 20-yard line. His 69-yard punt against Vanderbilt was the 12th-longest in program history and the third-longest in the SEC this season.

Crawshaw is the first UF punter to be selected to the All-SEC Freshman Team since Johnny Townsend in 2013.
