Crawford Cantave brings veteran size and versatility to Merrimack's secondary
Cantave is a 6-foot, 190-pound senior defensive back for Merrimack in the 2026 season, and his profile suggests a steady, experienced piece rather than a flashy stat-stuffer[1]. In 2025, available game-log and team-stat pages show limited but real production, including a tackle and an interception on the year, which points to a defender who can contribute in coverage and support without needing high-volume touches[2][4][5]. His differentiator is experience: he’s a multi-year contributor who has stayed on the roster through the transition from freshman to senior, and that kind of continuity matters for a secondary that values reliability, physicality, and communication[1][3].
