Notre Dame 99-to-2: No. 20 Shaun Crawford, defensive back returning from yet another injury

Listed Measurements: 5-foot-9, 186 pounds.
2019-20 year, eligibility: A fifth-year, Crawford theoretically has only one season of eligibility remaining, but given his injury history of losing three seasons (left ACL in August 2015, Achilles in September 2016, and right ACL in August 2018), Crawford should have a strong case to petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. Given the fickle nature of the governing body, the success of such a request would be hard to predict, but logically speaking, Crawford deserves a sixth year if he wants it.
Depth chart: If healthy and as effective as he was in his one healthy season (2017), Crawford is a shoo-in to start in the secondary, be it by making the nickel package the defense’s base or by lining up opposite senior cornerback Troy Pride.
