'17 VA DT/ATH Eric Crosby (UT signee)

[kamoshika]

4. New Tennessee commit Eric Crosby of Virginia Beach (Va.) Ocean Lakes had the best first step of any interior defensive linemen. He’s not going to blow you away with height, but his get-off, strength and pass-rushing moves from the inside make him a problem for those trying to stop him.

At the US Army National Combine in January, Crosby was one of almost 700 participants. Weighing in at 6'1.3" & 308 lbs, he still recorded a 30" vertical. And while his best 40 & shuttle times were unremarkable (5.43 and 4.84 respectively), he demonstrated his upper-body explosiveness by finishing 4th in the power push-up with 774.6 lbs of force exerted.

Weighed in at 6-2, 297 at The Opening Charlotte last Sunday. Recorded a 5.24 40, 4.73 shuttle, 37.0' powerball toss and a 29.5" vertical.

40 time is a tad slower than LB commit Mo Burnam, not good for Burnam

So what you're saying is he can't turn em and burnam.

The 40 times at this event were completely wrong. Just look at them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the times were technically accurate, but most of the kids just don't know how to run a 40.

Lol, exactly.' But apparently the machines weren't working right, says a poster a couple above this post. Which is possible.

"Also caught up with Eric Crosby who has been in town since Friday. All things are solid there."

[OGbabyaviVol]

Since Friday?? He's more than solid.

 

[JCLawyerVol]

Since Friday?? He's more than solid.

Done got his address forwarded, IMO.

Dropped to a 3 star in Rivals recent rankings.

Time to pull his offer.

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

Saw in the tweets thread that Crosby is squatting 525. Won't take him long to be in Vols 600 club. Can't wait for him to get on campus.

 

[JacketVol]

Rivals is a joke compared to the other services which are pretty much a joke as well. 247 is best but have no clue how coaches dealt with evals before the services.

 

[Catbone]

Ahh, the ole UT commit drop in rankings lol: don't matter though this guy is good

 

[BigOrangeD]

Ahh, the ole UT commit drop in rankings lol: don't matter though this guy is good

He has a 4 * offer list.

Wonder what made Rivals lower their ranking.

 

[MEDVOL]

I've lost all faith in rivals. I was very skeptical after they ranked PW the 19th receiver in the country. But now dropping Crosby out of the 250 and to a 3 star, dropping Gibbs to 144 overall, and having Trey Smith out of the 250...idk what they're smoking over there, but I'm 100% 24/7 Sports all the way now.
