The business program is a strong program for me and Sioux Falls also has a strong football program. I'm just happy to be a part of the Sioux Falls family."
So who else was Crawford looking at h=this summer?
"I was really considering Eastern Illinois, Northern Michigan and Western Illinois but I was really set on Sioux Falls even before I got there on my visit. I just had a great feeling that Sioux Falls was going to be the place for me so I committed."
Crawford is also thrilled to have his recruiting process completed.
"It's definitely a big relief (to be committed) and I can just focus on my senior year. The hardest part of the process for me was more towards the end and just trying to think about what you really want to do and where to spend the next four years of school."
