The final former Florida Gator to be selected in the 2026 NFL Draft was punter Tommy Doman Jr., who was selected with the 239th pick in the seventh round by the Buffalo Bills.
Doman only spent a year in Gainesville after transferring for his redshirt senior season from the Michigan Wolverines. The 6-foot-4-inch, 218-pound punter appeared in all 12 games for the Gators last year, serving up 50 kicks for a total of 2,202 yards — good for an average of 44.0 yards per boot. His longest kick reached 71 yards and 17 of them landed inside the 20-yard line.

[Alan Youngblood/Gainesville Sun]Doman earned a spot on PFF's 2025 All-SEC Team and participated in the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl after wrapping things up with the Orange and Blue. The Rochester Hills, Michigan, product finished his collegiate career with a total of 153 punts for 6,677 yards (43.6 yards average), plus a pair of extra points in as many tries during his freshman campaign with the Wolverines.
He was included on the coaches' All-Big Ten Third Team and was a media All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2024, while also being named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week that same year.
According to his draft combine report, Doman "has good size and quality hang time on his punts, but he doesn’t definitively check boxes with his power or touch to bury opponents deep in their own territory."
