Tre Crawford – Noteworthy
The UAB football program held its pro day Thursday morning at the UAB Football Operations Complex, and approximately 50 scouts from all 32 NFL teams attended. There were 23 Blazers who participated in drills – Jamell Garcia-Williams and Anthony Rush did not participate due to injuries – ranging from the 40-yard dash to bench press. Linebacker Tre Crawford’s vertical jump of 42 inches was significantly higher than any linebacker at the NFL Combine and his broad jump would have been good enough for fifth among linebackers. – AL.com
