Early life

Crum's father, Gary, was an all-conference player for the Wyoming Cowboys in the 1980s, while his grandfather, Earl, played for the team in 1940.[1] He grew up in Laramie, Wyoming, and attended Laramie High School, where he played football and basketball and was a first-team all-conference offensive lineman.[2] He was ranked a zero-star recruit and committed to play college football at Wyoming.[3]

College career

Crum redshirted as a true freshman at Wyoming in 2018.[4] After playing in 12 games, mostly as a backup, in 2019, he started all six games in the COVID-19-affected 2020 season.[5] He started all 13 games in 2021 and was chosen honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference (MW).[2] In 2022, he was named third-team All-MW by Pro Football Focus.[6] He returned for a final season in 2023 and was named first-team all-conference.[7] He ended his collegiate career with 55 games played and 48 starts.[8] He played at the 2024 Hula Bowl and was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, where he had the second-fastest 40-yard dash among offensive linemen.[9][10][11]
