Rhode Island’s 6-3, 315-pound redshirt freshman OL is a developmental road-grader with upside
Thades Crump is a big-bodied Rhode Island offensive lineman who redshirted in 2024 and returned in 2025 as a 6-3, 315-pound redshirt freshman, a profile that screams interior power and developmental upside rather than instant-star hype. He arrived from Loomis Chaffee with team-captain credentials, earned all-league recognition in prep football, and was part of back-to-back NEPSAC championship teams, which hints at toughness and winning habits. He’s a fit for a program that values size, patience, and long-term line building.
