Recruitment

Originally hailing from Milton, Massachusetts, Crippen found himself at the prestigious IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

Once a Notre Dame commit, when Crippen decommitted in early March 2020, it seemed all but destined that he would end up a Wolverine. He pulled the trigger on March 24, and remained solid in his pledge — one that became even stronger with fellow commitment J.J. McCarthy becoming an Ascender.

Readiness Level

With unknowns at center for Michigan football next season, Crippen could insert himself into the competition and be a day one player.
