ISAIAH CRAWFORD, TB<br />

5-10, 190, Fr., RS<br />

Vista, Calif. (Vista)<br />

AT COLORADO: This Season (Soph.)—Enters the fall listed second<br />

at tailback. He had a productive spring (77 yards and a touchdown<br />

in the three main scrimmages), and will figure prominently into the<br />

rotation this season.<br />

2003 (Fr.)—Redshirted; did not see any game action. He came in<br />

with the original thought in mind that he’d probably wind up at<br />

safety, but impressed the coaches from the get-go at tailback. He was<br />

twice honored as the Scout Team Offense Award winner for his<br />

efforts in practice for the UCLA and Baylor games.<br />

HIGH SCHOOL—As a senior, he earned first-team all-region and all-<br />

Palomar League honors at linebacker, and was second-team at<br />

running back. He was second-team all-league on defense as a junior<br />

and honorable all-league on offense as a sophomore. As a senior<br />

playing mostly outside linebacker, he was in on 79 tackles (70 solo),<br />

with 13 for losses and three sacks and a forced fumble. He knocked<br />

down 20 passes and had 30 quarterback pressures. On offense, he<br />

rushed 132 times for 700 yards and 13 touchdowns, and caught four<br />

passes for 76 yards and a score. He had two kick returns on the year,<br />

returning both for TDs (a 74-yard punt return and a 99-yard kickoff<br />

return). As a junior, also at OLB, he made 40 tackles (34 solo), with<br />

16 for losses and seven sacks, to go with two forced fumbles, three<br />

recoveries, 13 hurries, 15 passes broken up and a blocked punt. He<br />

gained 683 yards with 8 TDs on offense (97 carries), following up his<br />

sophomore year when he had 50 rushes for 438 yards and five<br />

scores. (He had 279 career rushes for 1,821 yards, 6.5 per attempt,<br />

with 26 touchdowns.) Top career games included a smorgasbord<br />

effort in a win over Bonita Vista as a senior, when he rushed 13 times<br />

for 120 yards and two scores, returned a punt 74 yards for a third TD,<br />

and had nine tackles, two for losses including a sack, a forced fumble<br />

and three pass deflections. In a 49-0 win over San Marcos, in just<br />

over a half of action, he had 22 rushes for 199 yards and two scores,<br />

with seven tackles and two sacks on defense. Vista was 10-3 his<br />

senior year and 11-2 his junior year, winning the Palomar League title<br />

both years under coach Chris Hauser; VHS was the Southern CIF<br />

champ in 2001 and the runner-up in 2002. He also lettered twice in<br />

track in sprints (bests of 11.3 in the 100 and 23.0 in the 200) and<br />

jumps (6-1 high jump best), and played basketball (shooting guard).<br />

ACADEMICS—He is undecided on his major at CU, but is interested<br />

in business or architecture. A two-time San Diego Union-Tribune<br />

scholar-athlete award winner (an in-season award for balancing academics<br />

and football).<br />

PERSONAL—He was born February 26, 1985 in San Diego, Calif. His<br />

hobbies include reading, lifting weights and playing video games. He<br />

was active in <strong>com</strong>munity service in high school, as he was a member<br />

Niwot, Colo. (Niwot)<br />

AT COLORADO: This Season (Soph.)—He enters the fall listed third<br />

at fullback. He switched to the position for spring practice, and<br />

adapted very well to the change. Primarily used as a blocker in drills,<br />

he did catch one pass (for 2 yards) in the spring game.<br />

2003 (Fr.-RS)—He saw action in 11 games (no starts), mostly on special<br />

teams though he played occasionally in several games at tight<br />

end. He had two special team points on the year, on the strength of<br />

one knockdown block and one wedge break.<br />

at tight end. He earned the Scout Team Offense Award for the Big 12<br />

Championship game against Oklahoma. He joined the team as a<br />

recruited walk-on prior to August drills, and was placed on scholarship<br />

for the spring semester (he was originally going to enroll in<br />

January, but was invited into camp when a space opened for him).<br />

HIGH SCHOOL—He lettered three times in football, playing both<br />

tight end and defensive end. He garnered all-state honors as a senior,<br />

as he set school records for all-time receiving yards and sacks in a<br />

season (20 1 /2). He had 33 catches for over 800 yards and eight touchdowns<br />

on offense as a senior, with 100 total tackles, 20 quarterback<br />

sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three pass<br />

deflections. His top games included a win over Sterling as a senior,<br />

when he had nine tackles and four sacks, one being the game-saver.<br />

Against Valley, he reeled in six catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns,<br />

while his top high school moment came against Steamboat<br />

Springs in the 2001 state playoffs, as Niwot won after a tough a goal<br />

line stand. Niwot was 9-3 his senior year under new coach Ron<br />

Tesone, 3-7 his junior year and 2-8 during his sophomore season<br />

(when he played offensive guard). He lettered four years in basketball<br />

at forward, as he exited as Niwot’s all-time leading scorer and<br />

a senior. He also lettered three times in outdoor track, and was an allconference<br />
