The Frogs have secured a veteran gunslinger who is certain to make waves in 2026
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound senior from Montclair, New Jersey, is coming off one of the most dominant seasons in recent history. Craig led the Crimson to a 9-2 record in the Ivy League and its first trip to the FCS Playoff.
