A native of Tennessee, Crowder attended Tennessee High School in Bristol, Tennessee. Regarded as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was listed as the No. 14 center in his recruit class by Rivals[1] and the No. 7 center in his class by ESPN.[2]
Crowder redshirted his first year at Tennessee (2011), and then played backup to James Stone most of his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons (2012-2013). He made his playing debut against Georgia State in the 2012 season, and also played against Kentucky that same season. During the spring practice of 2013, Crowder received the team's Harvey Robinson Award for the Most Surprising Offensive Player.[3] In the 2013 season, Crowder drew his first career start at center against No. 11 South Carolina, where Tennessee's win snapped a 19-game losing streak against ranked opponents.[4] Crowder also played in seven other games during the 2013 season.
