Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver brings NFL, CFL, and European professional experience to Athens
ATHENS, Ga. (November 12, 2026) – The Athens Crush have signed wide receiver Brevin Easton, adding an explosive offensive playmaker with experience in the National Football League, Canadian Football League, and European professional football.
Easton joins the Crush following an impressive professional career that has taken him from the NFL to Canada and Europe, where he has consistently demonstrated his ability to make big plays and produce at a high level.
Easton began his professional career in 2024 after signing as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He appeared in the team’s preseason games, recording three receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown before being released during final roster cuts.
He subsequently signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League before continuing his professional career overseas with the Frankfurt Galaxy.
Easton made an immediate impact in Europe, recording 40 receptions for 679 yards and five touchdowns in just six games during the 2025 season. He followed that performance with another productive campaign in 2026, finishing with 43 receptions for 630 yards and five touchdowns in eight games. His 2025 performance earned him recognition as Frankfurt’s leading receiver in receiving yards.
Prior to turning professional, Easton enjoyed an outstanding collegiate career at the University at Albany, where he emerged as one of the top wide receivers in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
During his senior season in 2023, Easton recorded 57 receptions for 1,086 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning Third Team FCS All-American honors and Second Team All-CAA recognition. He ranked among the most productive receivers in the FCS and recorded four 100-yard receiving performances during the season, including a spectacular 228-yard, three-touchdown performance against Idaho.
In two seasons at Albany, Easton totaled 85 receptions for 1,509 yards and 15 touchdowns. He began his collegiate career at Assumption University, where he earned NE10 All-Conference Rookie Team honors in 2019. Across his collegiate career, he accumulated 140 receptions for 2,609 yards and 27 touchdowns.
“Brevin is an explosive receiver who has proven he can make plays at every level of the game,” said Athens Crush Head Coach Rob Keefe. “He changes his route tempo and speeds to rock coverage to sleep, is a glider who separates effortlessly, and uses his hands with good arm extension to catch everything.”
“I’m excited for the opportunity to join the Athens Crush and be part of building something special,” said Easton. “I can’t wait to get to Athens, get to work with my teammates and coaches, and help bring a championship to the city.”
The Athens Crush will begin play in the Indoor Football League (IFL) in March 2027 at Akins Ford Arena in Athens, Georgia.
