Derrick Crumpton brings veteran safety savvy to Middle Tennessee
Derrick Crumpton was a steady, physical safety for Middle Tennessee, and his value showed up in the dirty work: in the 2011 season he posted 53 tackles, after 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2010, giving the Blue Raiders a reliable run-support defender with experience and toughness.[1][4] He was also recognized as a team captain in 2011, which says a lot about his leadership and trust in the room.[11] If you want a dependable, no-nonsense defensive back who plays with veteran poise and can set the tone, Crumpton is the kind of fit coaches tend to love.[6][11]
