KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island Football long snapper Donato Crisanti has earned invites to the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers Mini Camps on the heels of the 2025 NFL Draft. 

A Hula Bowl invitee as a redshirt senior and the only FCS long snapper welcomed to the Senior Specialist Showcase, Crisanti was the Rams' primary long snapper from 2020-24. 

Crisanti was a CAA Football Commissioner's Honor Roll student at URI and known for his leadership role among the program's specialists. Tabbed to the Phil Steele All-CAA Football Fourth Team in 2023, he finished his career with a pair of tackles and played in all 50 possible games for Rhody. 

To finish off his career, he helped lead the Rams to the 2024 CAA Football Championship and a first-round win over Central Connecticut State in the FCS Playoffs. 

The North Haven, Conn. native is the third Ram in the past two years to be invited to the Jets Mini Camp. Former wide receiver Kahtero Summers and current offensive line assistant Sebastian Delasoudas earned invites after the 2024 season.
