Tenn. LB Seeking First

Matthew Crowder, a good size linebacker prospect standing at 6-4 and weighing in at 205 pounds, is looking for his first offer. The Blountville-Sullivan Central, (Tenn.) native is hoping to hear from a few schools including many from the Ivy League.

Matthew Crowder reports, “I don’t have any offers.”

Crowder reports a lot of interest from the Ivy League including Penn, Yale, and Princeton. He commented, “Penn University invited me to their Junior Day."

In addition to Penn, he is receiving interest from Princeton. He said, “Right now my brother is an offensive lineman at Princeton University. I’d love to hear from Princeton. I’d love to go up there with my brother.”

As far as any non Ivy League programs he has a great interest in he said, “I am interested in Western Kentucky."

Crowder reports of his strengths, “I definitely have a reach advantage when I run out for a pass. I can jump pretty high too."

He added, "I plan to work mostly gaining muscle mass and staying the same speed.”

As for what Crowder wants out of his choice he said, “I’m looking for a school that has not too many students. I would like a school that has a better student to teacher ratio.”

Crowder feels confident about the chances his team has this upcoming season. He commented, “I think we are going to do really good.”

If Crowder can keep playing like he has been there should be a good chance. Crowder averaged 14 yards per carry last season as a junior. Crowder is going to be the leader of his team as a fourth year starter and captain.
