Robby Stevenson (born February 7, 1976 in Bradenton, Florida) was an American football punter and placekicker. Stevenson played college football at the University of Florida where he earned the starting punter position as a true freshman in 1995. A USA Today All-American out of Manatee High School, he served as the Florida Gators primary punter up until in his senior year in 1998 when he was diagnosed with Graves Disease. The illness effectively ended his football career.
Stevenson often received jeers from Florida fans during his career. He was criticised for his inconsistency, as evidenced by delivering short kicks in lopsided victories but long punts in pressure situations.
He posted a career average of 40.7 yards per punt during his three-year tenure. His best season average was 42.1 yards per punt in 1996, when Florida won the SEC title and the National Championship. In 1997, he handled both the punting and kicking duties for the Gators. He proved to be a weapon on kickoffs, with 21 of 71 kickoffs resulting in touchbacks (50% goaline or beyond).
He is currently a Deputy Sheriff in his hometown of Bradenton, FL.
