Aaron Crawford (born November 4, 1997) is an American professional football nose tackle. He played college football at North Carolina.
Crawford attended Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, Virginia. As a sophomore, he helped his team reach the 2012 Virginia AAA Division 5 title game.[1] Considered a three-star prospect by 247 Sports, Crawford committed to North Carolina over offers from Virginia and Boston College.[2][1]
College career
Crawford was sidelined with a knee injury after two games as a true freshman, forcing him to redshirt.[1] He made 10 starts for North Carolina as a redshirt freshman.[2] As a sophomore, he started all 12 games and had 29 tackles including 5.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and a fumble recovery. Crawford tore his PCL and sprained his MCL during preseason camp as a junior. He managed to return on October 13, 2018, but was limited and wore a knee brace, and played his second and final game of the season on October 27. Crawford made one tackle in the two games and called it the toughest part of his career. Coach Larry Fedora was fired after the season.[3] As a senior in 2019, Crawford started all 13 games and recorded 50 tackles, three sacks, and finished tied for second on the team with 9.0 tackles for loss.[2]
