Austin Crittenden Austin Crittenden 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB/LB Highland Home | 2025 State AL has been a game changer in every way for Highland Home these past few years, easily making plays out of the backfield at RB and huge tackles on defense at LB. Crittenden is extremely tough to stop out of the backfield- he plays with a ton of speed and physicality that allows him to outrun and plow through entire defenses with ease. Crittenden is also extremely productive on defense- he is terrific at making sideline-to-sideline plays and is a constant threat to opposing offenses. Crittenden is a really reliable tackler that can also create turnovers in coverage and by placing big hits on the ball carrier, there’s really no way for offenses to slow him down. Crittenden put up some ridiculous numbers on both sides of the ball for Highland Home last season, ending the year with 156 carries for 1503 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground, 11 receptions for 140 yards and 3 touchdowns in the air, and 114 total tackles (96 solo, 17 for loss), 4 sacks, 2 interceptions, 4 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles on defense. Coaches- you’ve got to watch Crittenden’s tape below, he’s an extremely gifted player with plenty to provide at the next level.
