Expert Analysis

Matt DeBary

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

A multi-sport standout with size, instincts, toughness, and above-average athleticism, Crawford is a sure-tackling defender who can also turn around and play tight end on defense. He dissects plays early, runs well, and brings a physical presence at 6-foot-3 200-pounds. He’s a hard-hitting defender who is bound for a giant junior season this fall for the mighty Cartersville Purple Hurricanes. He’s already a major target for several top Power Four programs with sky-high potential at linebacker. He’s now ranked by Prep Redzone as the No. 1 linebacker and the No. 17 overall prospect in the state for the 2027 class.

The offers continue to roll on for one of the top overall defenders in Georgia for the 2027 class. Crawford, a multi-sport standout who made big plays on both sides of the ball last year, earned another SEC offer recently from the Florida Gators. He’s a sure-tackler who consistently finds his way to the ball-carrier and will only get better and better over the next two years. He’s currently ranked as the No. 2 LB prospect in Georgia for his class.

The 6’1 215 MLB has the size, talent and athleticism to already be a one of the hottest recruits on the P4 recruiting boards.

His numbers are not eye popping on defense this season as he is splitting time with a loaded and very talented Purple Hurricane roster. On offense he has caught 6 passes for 48 yards and a score.

Crawford already holds offers from most of the top P4 programs in the country, including UGA and Alabama, with Florida State being the most recent offer. Future Star at the next level.

Staying in Georgia, 6-foot-3 and 185-pounds Tight End/Linebacker Cole Crawford Cole Crawford 6'3" | 200 lbs | LB Cartersville | 2027 State GA is another big time prospect on the horizon. Like Chris Johnson Chris Johnson 6'3" | 210 lbs | LB/DL Cedartown | 2027 GA , Crawford is another player I can see sticking on the defensive side of the ball due to his sideline-to-sideline tackling ability. He wrapped up his middle school career this past season playing for Cartersville, the same program that produced Trevor Lawrence. Crawford is also one of the most elite baseball players in the country too.

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

In a class of his own when it comes to overall strength and potential for prospects in the class of 2027. Last year as a seventh-grader was featured on MaxPrep squatting over 275-pounds. Another year has seen him to glow up to 6-foot-1 and closing in on 185-pounds quickly. He’s everything you want in a Middle Linebacker prospect right now. Obviously big and strong enough to stand down in between the tackles, but can also flip his hips and run if teams try to go vertical against him. In addition to football ability, he’s also another kid that is a stud on the baseball diamond. Plays Catcher, First Base and Pitches. He, like Dawson and Nix, have a chance to be two-sport athletes at the next level. He is, and should continue to be, a special one.
