ASU LB Koron Crump determined to make big impact

Let’s start with the basics.

Koron Crump is an Arizona State junior linebacker by way of Fort Scott Community College in Kansas. He stands 6-foot-3, 218 pounds, and when he lined up over the summer to race cornerback De’Chavon Hayes – considered one of ASU’s fastest players – he beat him.

“By about a yard,” Crump said.

That’s impressive. Especially for a player his size.

Crump is one of a few junior-college transfers expected to make an immediate impact, and possibly start, in coach Todd Graham’s fifth season. Joining him: safety J’Marcus Rhodes, center A.
