Nick Crayton brings size and upside to Samford’s receiver room
Crayton is a 6-3, 215-pound freshman wideout whose frame gives Samford a bigger target on the perimeter and in the red zone. In the 2025 season, he produced 19 catches for 174 yards, showing steady involvement in the offense while Samford’s overall passing game remained modest. His recruiting profile also pointed to real promise: at Austin High, he posted 26 receptions for 528 yards and 6 touchdowns as a senior. He looks like a physical, developmental fit for a team that values catch radius, toughness, and future growth.
