Rated the #22 player in the nation for 2009 by Rivals.
From one of Craig's better games of the year:
Easy win for Mustangs; Morgan Park 41, Wheaton North 0. Public Chicago Sun-Times - Find Articles

Wheaton North junior Mike Trumpy came to Gately Stadium on Friday with 1,638 yards rushing. But this night belonged to Morgan Park and Dominique Bell, Victor Scott, Craig Drummond and friends.

Quote:
"It was a challenge because he is such a good running back," Drummond said. "We practiced and practiced and practiced for him. My job was to be outside and stay home."
Said Morgan Park coach Lexie Spurlock: "Drummond is a special kind of a kid. He does everything the coaches ask, and he is a super kid to watch."

Football's Second Season: Drummond, Goro lead Class of 2009
Quote:
Drummond, Goro lead Class of 2009
I attended the Wheaton North/Morgan Park and New Trier/Maine South playoff games last weekend and came away very impressed with four juniors--Morgan Park defensive end Craig Drummond, Maine South quarterback Charlie Goro and running backs Mike Trumpy of Wheaton North and Dominique Bell of Morgan Park.
In fact, I believe Drummond or Goro will be the No. 1 player in the Chicago area next year.
Drummond, a 6-5, 240-pounder, comes off the ball with burst and strength. He is exceptionally quick for a big guy. He is relentless, has good body control and good lateral movement and pursues well. And he never takes a play off.
He could rank ahead of Goro because defensive ends are harder to find than quarterbacks. Big guys who are very athletic and productive, like Drummond, are hard to find. He has the look of Richard Dent, the former Bears All-NFL defensive end, with high cut legs and long arms. He looks like he will weigh 270-280 pounds in the next two years.

Recruiters zero in on top juniors :: High School Sports ::
Quote:
Drummond, the state's top-rated prospect, has been offered a scholarship by Illinois, Miami (Fla.), Iowa, Arkansas and Kansas State. He also has attracted interest from Ohio State and Colorado. As a sophomore, he was so big and dominant that several college recruiters thought he was a senior.
''He runs so well for a big man,'' Lemming said. ''If he dedicates himself to working out and improving his skills this summer, he can be one of the premier defensive players in the country. He ranks among the top 35 players in the nation.''

Craig Drummond (6-5 255) attends Morgan Park High School in Chicago, Illinois and finished last season with 18 sacks. His performance last year was good enough to earn All-State and All-City honors and his team finished with a record of 12-3 after losing in the state title game. He has received numerous offers but two schools stick out the most.

“I’ve received offers from a lot of schools; I can’t name all of them,” Drummond said. “I don’t have a top 5 but I like Illinois, Miami, and there are some other schools............
