Grandview, Texas TE Dametrious Crownover shared a top 11 including three SEC teams on Sunday. One conference team appears to have a leg up on the others.
Crownover tweeted a graphic showing Auburn, LSU and Texas A&M in his top teams along with Baylor, Colorado, Miami, Nebraska, Oregon, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Texas. His older brother, Earnest Crownover, is a class of 2020 JUCO transfer running back who pledged to the Aggies in January. Their father was a defensive lineman at Baylor.
Dametrious is listed at 6-6, 235 pounds and rated 4-stars, the No. 8 tight end, No. 34 recruit in Texas and No. 222 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2021 on the 247Sports Composite.
247Sports Midlands Region Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks shared an evaluation of Crownover in December:
Possesses elite height and frame length with space to continue adding good bulk. Tall, long, two-way prospect at tight end and defensive end. Started both ways for Texas 3A D-I state champion as a sophomore. Two-sport standout in football and basketball. Potential to play tight end or strong-side defensive end. Far more tape on defense than offense so far, but basketball skill suggests high ceiling at tight end. Wins with size and natural athleticism. Good ball skills likely influenced by basketball background. Big hands and encouraging hands-catching ability despite relative lack of pass-catching reps for a TE prospect. Needs to improve pad level and leverage consistency due to high center of gravity. Will face significant jump in competition going from smaller-school level in high school to high-major in college. Raw and will need to hone route-running skill. Owns elite physical tools and a lot of potential. Could become multi-year high-major starter with long-term potential to reach NFL Draft.
