Former 5-Star NC State Tackle Rob Crisp Was a Big, Technically Sound Pass Protector
Rob Crisp was one of the nation’s most highly rated offensive tackles coming out of high school, ranked as the No. 2 OT and No. 13 overall recruit by Rivals, and his profile centered on rare size, length, and polished technique rather than flash. At 6-7 and around 301 pounds, he was viewed as a long, fundamentally strong left tackle with starter-level upside, but his career was also shaped by a concussion that earned him a fifth year of eligibility. If you value size, experience, and clean technique in a tackle, Crisp fit the mold; the main question was durability, not talent.[3][2][4]
