This is one mean mamo-jama! Huge size and good speed for that weight,
although he believes he is a little heavy and now runs on his free time
to drop some of those lbs. What does he have to say about himself,
lets see:
"I'm a good blocker and I have a really good speed
burst through the line. I have great vision and awareness
and a great rip move. I want to improve my 40 time and stamina.
I also want to imrprove my footwork and agility. I like OT
the most because I like providing a hole for my RB."
"I'm one of the few people that have been given this
gift. And I work real hard to do something with it. I haven't
seen many people work harder than I do."
GOT TO LIKE THAT ATTITUDE!
In the begining there were 5: Tennessee, NC State, Oklahoma,
Virginia Tech, ECU. Things have changed up a little bit now.
He has taken a visit to OU and will be a busy man in January
having 4 visits set up. OU was in Nov, UF Jan 7th, NC State who
many believe to be the favorite here will get a visit on Jan 14th,
Clemson Jan 21, and Va Tech on the 28th. He has dropped interest
in Tenn saying 'they are out'.
Crouch was invited to play in the Shrine Bowl and impressed
everyone watching. After the game, it was clear that this large
fella can make an immediate impact for any team on his list.
So what about the Gators?
"The Gators jumped in on Shrine Bowl week. The
coach there said they need to sign a few offensive linemen
and I was one that they wanted. I don't know as much about
them as I do the other schools, but things happen. I'm
interested in seeing what they have to offer."
..."and thats all she wrote!"
UPDATE:
Crouch was told by to not take his visit to UF, citing that there maybe some grade issues. Crouch was called later on that evening and UF admitted a mistake and told him that his visit is back on if he chooses to take it. Crouch agreed to take his visit and has arrived.
UPDATE
Curtis committed to NC State.
