2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE is a guy who is going to come to work and be serious about working, but he is going to really enjoy the grind. He has excellent academics, was an outstanding student. He has a great skill set and will be a great addition to our program." • La Canada (Calif.) St. Francis Head Coach Jim Bonds: "He's a pretty dynamic player. It's nice for coaches to have someone with his ability and athleticism. He can not only get be- hind defenders, but when the ball is the air and near him, he's going to go up and get it. He thinks every ball is his. It's nice when you couple that with his speed; it's a nice combination to have." • Rivals.com National Recruit- ing Analyst Mike Farrell: "The most important thing a receiver can do is catch the ball and Crawford catches everything. He's not the fastest, he's not the biggest, but he's a good tech- nician. He's a smart kid. He'll fit right in with what Harbaugh wants to do because he's a willing blocker as well. You can rely on him to pick up the of- fense, run good routes, catch almost everything, bail out his quarterback and get yardage after the catch. I think he's a well-rounded receiver." • Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Repor t: "He's a quicker-than-light type of wide receiver. He's not real big but he's got real good hands. He can separate after the catch and shows explosive moves. I was really impressed. I thought he was one of the best players in Southern Califor- nia this year. I think he can contribute as a freshman."
