NDSU’s Freshman All-American Safety with Elite Instincts and a 2024 INT
Jaylin Crumby, a 5'11", 196-lb sophomore safety from Tampa, FL, stands out as a 2024 Phil Steele FCS Freshman All-American (Fourth Team) and MVFC All-Newcomer Team member, proving he’s a high-intensity, instinct-driven defender who thrives in coverage. In 2024, he recorded 24 solo tackles, 20 assists, 4 pass breakups, and 1 interception (vs. Abilene Christian), showcasing his ability to read quarterbacks and close fast. Though listed as a CB in some rosters, NDSU officially plays him as a Safety, where his versatility and tackling consistency (44 total tackles in 2024) make him a reliable fit for any team needing a ball-hawking backer. No reported injury history; his intensity and football IQ are his biggest differentiators.
