Crafton is one of the top 2028 linebackers across Southern California and is coming off a stellar sophomore season campaign for Santa Barbara. He is very athletic from the second level, closes quickly on ball carriers and can apply pressure up the middle with well timed blitzes and some pass rush twitch off the edge. He flashes he is a sideline to sideline player outside the tackles, has speed to track down backside and a quick redirect when needed while not afraid to shock and shed in between the tackles against second level blockers. Overall, he is extremely athletic and strong at the point of attack and should fit nicely at inside linebacker in college with plus athleticism.
