Quavaris Crouch pulling in offers from the nation's best

Offers continue to roll in for athlete Quavaris Crouch. The Charlotte (N.C.) Harding University star is in the 2019 Rivals100 and is obviously one of the most sought after prospects in his class. Plenty of offers have been rolling in from schools like Penn State, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.

IN HIS OWN WORDS…

“I don't know too much about Penn State,” Crouch said. “I like their running back. I look at him a lot because he is really good and strong. I called coach Terry Smith and got the offer from him. He said they're offering me on both sides of the ball. They want to see how I develop. We're going to take a visit up there some time.

“My recent visits were to Georgia, Clemson and South Carolina,” he said. “I talk to coach Bentley from South Carolina a lot.

“The Georgia visit was great,” said Crouch. “I got to collaborate with a lot of coaches and players to learn how to do things. I like that they are close to home and I feel like their offense fits my style a lot. They run the ball down hill a lot and it's a pro-style offense. I want to play running back at the next level but if things start to switch up then I'll play wherever.

“I like Alabama a lot too,” he said. “You never know what they're going to bring. It's a school that everybody wants to go to. In my class, I need to check out everything down there because your spot could be gone really fast. I haven't talked to the Alabama coaches yet. My coach talked to Nick Saban and some other coaches though. I'm looking at taking a visit down there soon. I'd be open to playing running back or linebacker there.

“The Ohio State offer means a lot because it comes from a place that does a great job developing backs,” Crouch said. “I talked to the running backs coach and he seemed like a great guy. I’m a big fan of Ezekial Elliott and I know they had a really good running back before him in Carlos Hyde. I’ve been watching Ohio State for a long time because my they’re my best friend’s favorite team.

“My coach explained early that Notre Dame is very prestigious,” he said. “The tradition is second to none. It’s an independent school basically has their own network. They’ve had a lot of Heisman winners and candidates and a ton of championships in the past.”

“I’m going to try to visit Michigan, Ohio State, and Alabama in the summer,” said Crouch. “I still need to sort out my offers before making a short list.”

RIVALS’ REACTION…

Crouch is an exceptional prospect that fits into most offensive schemes. His downhill, punishing running style makes defenders cringe and think twice about tackling him. Crouch’s offer sheet feature most of the nation’s top football programs but his recruitment won’t really come into focus until he takes more visits. So far South Carolina, Georgia, and Clemson have done a good job with him but expect Ohio State and Alabama to make strong pushes for him.
