How he got to Morgantown

Country Roads brought Justin Crawford to Morgantown from Northwest Mississippi Community College. While at NMCC, Crawford was the National Junior College Offensive Player of the Year. The well-rounded back turned down offers from Georgia, Louisville, Missouri, and South Carolina to play for Dana Holgorsen and the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Crawford’s first season at WVU came with great success. He gained over 1,100 yards and earned five touchdowns, while averaging over 90 yards a game.
