Crawford is a state champion at Carthage High School, a D-II power in a small town on the Texas-Louisiana border. The three-star recruit had previously committed to Pac-12 newcomer Texas State, but decommitted two days after visiting Boulder.
As scout Gabe Brooks detailed, Crawford is an instinctual off-ball linebacker with a good frame at 6’3, 215-lbs. He was extremely productive, racking up tackles, sacks, forced fumbles and scoring defensive touchdowns. He played seven different positions in his championship game, playing linebacker, edge, safety, nickel, and then a bit of tight end, receiver and running back.
Crawford looks exciting on tape. His versatility and knack for the ball will have him competing at whatever position the coaching staff needs. He just needs to get in the weight room, fill out his frame, and then adjust to major college football.
Welcome Carson!
