   Height: 6-2. Weight: 199.
   Projected Round (2015): 5-7.

   8/27/14: Christy put together a ugly 2013 with an average of 39.6 yards per punt and even lost the punting job during year. He took the punting job for 2012 after Chas Henry moved on to the NFL and was continuing a trend of standout specialists from Florida. Christy finished fifth in the nation with 45.8 yards per punt that year. He made a real impact in field position as the Gators had a good defense, but a streaky offense.
