Coach Talk
“Anthony just has that playmaking ability that is hard to come by. He can check all the boxes off. On defense, he is tough and aggressive. He has good ball skills and is good at open-field tackling and coverage. Offensively, he can make phenomenal catches, he can run the ball, he’s great on the perimeter, but I think the thing that is unique with him is his explosiveness. He’s a kid that can kick it into a different gear. His best attribute is his quick bursts that make him tough to track down. He is the full package and that is something that is marketable from a Division I standpoint.” — Belle Vernon head coach Matt Humbert

Plain and simple, Crews is a playmaker. It was quite evident in the Class 3A state title game against Northwestern Lehigh when he returned the opening kickoff 77 yards with a blend of speed and vision. Shortly thereafter, Crews scored on a reverse, and he had to stop up and cut back to the opposite side of the field for 62 yards. Crews has breakaway speed that makes him a threat any time he touches the ball and has space. He is able to finish through a hit and has tremendous ball skills. While he only holds one DI offer from RMU, expect his recruitment to take off during his senior season.
