Nevada Sports Net’s weekly poll question on Twitter covers the impact of transfer players on the Nevada football team. In this week’s poll, Texas transfer Kitan Crawford ranked second behind Nebraska quarterback Chubba Purdy. While Purdy is expected to have a big impact due to his quarterback position, columnist Chris Murray voted for Crawford. Crawford, a former standout on special teams at Texas, will be a starting safety at Nevada and has shown promise with 61 tackles, an interception, and three passes defended during his time at Texas. Crawford’s decision to stay at Nevada for a second senior season shows commitment to the team.
Murray highlights Crawford’s experience in important games such as the Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff, where he had an interception. Crawford is set to partner with West Virginia transfer Keyshawn Cobb at safety, with Cobb having an impressive season at Buffalo in 2022. The Cobb and Crawford pairing could be vital for Nevada’s defense in the upcoming season. Murray’s vote for Crawford reflects his belief in the impact of defensive players like Crawford in bolstering Nevada’s team for success in 2024.
Nevada Sports Net will continue to share poll results and host discussions on NSN Tonight, providing fans with insights into the upcoming season and new additions to the team. Follow columnist Chris Murray on Twitter @ByChrisMurray for more sports updates and analysis.
