Beyond the Jersey 
  • INSPIRATIONAL PERSON OR QUOTE & WHY | “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31
  • FAVORITE CCU MOMENT | Crandall says, “I enjoy being around Coach Hays every day. I also enjoy showing up to practice and being able to have fun and learn about life and Christ. Coach Hays makes the game fun, and that is something that is inspiring and a blessing to have. My favorite memory is when he wore a ‘Dia de los Muertos’ mask to practice with his shorts inside out and backwards for Halloween.”  
  • OUTSIDE OF SPORTS | “I hang out with my roommate Hampton Hays. We travel on off days and see Colorado when we can. I also am keeping up with my studies as a Nurse. I enjoy playing cards with Hampton and our apartment neighbors.”
  • WHY DID YOU CHOOSE CCU | “I wanted a school that shared my Christian beliefs, and I also wanted the opportunity to play for Larry Hays.”
  • POST COLEGE DREAMS | “I have a job lined up to start in June as a Neonatal ICU Nurse in Edmond, Oklahoma.”
