2013 Stats: Crume played in every game last season for the Orange, garnering 28 total tackles, 5 TFLs and a blocked punt.
2014 Projections: Crume is the anchor of the defensive line this season. The starting nose tackle will likely line up next to Ryan Sloan and a whole host of defensive ends auditioning for the part.

Scout/Rivals Said: Two stars all the way.
