UT Martin gets a two-way playmaker in Patrick Crump Jr.
Crump arrives at UT Martin as a physical, high-output linebacker with real juice from Corinth HS, where he piled up 63 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and a 61-yard fumble return in his senior season, while also dominating as a running back with 1,830 rushing yards and 28 TDs in 2025. That kind of explosiveness hints at burst, contact balance, and competitive edge—plus he’s already shown he can carry a heavy workload. If you want a linebacker with downhill thump and some sneaky playmaking upside, this one’s worth a hard look.
