Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Crockett saw his rankings skyrocket in our final rankings update this time around, and rightfully so. He is one of the most explosive playmakers across the western region and is going to be an absolute steal for a college program as we near the final signing day. Crockett has elite open field speed and route running abilities and is a natural pass catcher with tremendous tracking abilities and body control at the POA while able to break away and make big splash plays after the catch. He currently holds offers from Idaho State and Portland State and others should come knocking soon as rosters are starting to take shape for the spring and each respective ’26 recruiting class.

Crockett has been one of the more explosive and under-rated playmakers across the state for the past two seasons, and has put together a tremendous senior season campaign for Skyline. He is a natural pass catcher with elite route running abilities and natural hands when hauling in deep balls, and has outstanding tracking abilities over the top and strong hands in traffic. After the catch he shows short area wiggle, strong contact balance and a third level gear while extremely tough to take down in the open field. He had another stellar week on Friday night going for 3 scores and over 130 total yards and should have another big week against Bishop Kelly which will be one of the more intriguing matchups of the year across Idaho. Crockett picked up another offer from Utah Tech over the weekend and his commitment will be one to keep a close eye on.

Look for other Big Sky schools to enter the mix as he moves through his senior year.

Crocket is well known around the state of Idaho as the soon to be senior can really it do it all but he is now starting to get recognition outside the state. Crocket has the ability to really impact the game at multiple levels whether it is receiving or carrying the football out of the backfield. He has home run speed but really is special in the open field as he can make defenders miss at will. He ranked in the top 15 but we can easily see that he will starting climbing into the top 10 but the start of the season.

Crockett is one of the most under-rated prospects across the entire state, and perhaps the top hidden gem in Idaho. He is a explosive play-maker from the receiver position but also shows he can lineup in the backfield and has elite speed and short area twitch in the open field. With the ball in his hands, he has strong contact balance when breaking tackles, forces defenders to take poor angles with sneaky third level speed and is extremely tough to bring down in one on one situations. He displays natural hands, can win on contested catches and 50/50 balls and has outstanding body control when making off-platform plays. It should only be a matter of time until he collects his first offer and he is looking to be a big time steal in the 2026 class this cycle.

Crockett is one of the more explosive play makers across Idaho in this 2026 class that can play both in the slot or on the outside at the receiver position. He is a technically sound route runner that is quick in and out of his brakes while showing a good first initial step off the line to get into the blind spot of defenders. He has strong hands in traffic and tracking abilities over the top while able to make contested catches with body control and high point abilities. After the catch, he does a good job of getting vertical quickly and can make defenders miss in the open field with short area quickness and lateral movement. Overall, he is a very smooth athlete that is a no-brainer college caliber prospect and should draw plenty of college interest this off-season.
