Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Coming out of big-school Illinois power Lincoln Way-West, Louisville baseball commit Cole Crafton is gaining a ton of steam on the recruiting trail as a 6’3, 205 lb. quarterback prospect. Crafton committed to the Cardinals baseball squad in late September of 2020 and was even ranked as the #1 baseball product in Illinois for his class by a third-party site, but an array of football programs have kept in contact and he even received an offer from UNI last May. Things are really starting to heat up this fall though, and Purdue, Notre Dame, and Illinois have all gotten game-day visits from the junior with Kansas State up next and a slew of other FBS and P5 programs continuing to send graphics, mail, and contact. I feel like he’s right on the cusp of that first major offer, and with obvious athleticism and arm talent coming from the baseball background, his junior film also displays a QB with great accuracy who does a good job of making his reads, staying patient if needed, and allowing the route to develop so he can make a good decision and put the ball right in the WR’s hands. I also like his ability to extend plays with his legs and his toughness to stand in the pocket through a big hit. Crafton’s gone 141-237 (59%) for 1,944 yards and 17 TDs through the air during the regular season and rushed 58 times for 283 yards and 8 more TDs with his legs. He’s been all over the recruiting space in 2022 and you couldn’t miss the attention and talent even if you tried!
