Gulliver's Crawford getting a lot of interest - 08/11/2008 - MiamiHerald.com

After a season that ended with much disappointment, Gulliver senior safety Frank Crawford said the key to erasing last season's short comings can be summed up in two words: Extra work.

''We didn't like the way things ended for us last year,'' Crawford said. ``We're trying to be the best team in the state, and we know what it's going to take to be that; playing hard, playing smart and working extra hard.''

The 6-foot, 180-pound Crawford will be looking to improve on the 40 tackles and six interceptions he totaled in his junior season. That performance was enough to land Crawford scholarship offers from Minnesota, South Carolina, South Florida and Florida State.

RECRUITING FRENZY

Aside from the four offers Crawford confirmed as his top choices, Crawford says that many other schools are contacting him on a daily basis.

''The recruiting stuff is really crazy,'' Crawford said.

''I get at least three letters and five phone calls every day. A lot of coaches calling me and telling me about how good I would fit in with their team and how much I would like their school,'' Crawford said. ``It's hard to keep up with sometimes, but I know that this is the best time of my life so I'm enjoying it the best I can''

Other schools that have shown major interest, but haven't made official offers are Penn State, Michigan State, Ohio State and Michigan.
