Rivals.com 24/7Sports Strongside defensive end/Tight End 6'7''|235 lbs CLASS OF 2021 Ohio State has offered. Possesses elite height and frame length with space to continue adding good bulk. Tall, long, two-way standout who was dominant at times for Texas Class 3A state power. Started both ways (TE, DE) for Texas 3A D-I state champion as a sophomore. Two-sport standout in football and basketball. Potential to play tight end or strong-side defensive end. Far more tape on defense than offense so far, but basketball skill suggests high ceiling at tight end. Shows impressive pursuit ability for such a big-framed, young defender. Wins with size and athleticism. Hustles downfield when needed. Active against the run and as a pass-rusher. Solid tackler, but can improve arriving pop. Needs to improve pad level and leverage consistency due to high center of gravity. Will face significant jump in competition going from smaller-school level in high school to high-major in college. Raw prospect who must hone technique, regardless of eventual full-time position at the next level. However, owns elite tools and a ton of potential on either side of the ball that could produce top half of the NFL Draft potential.

Dametrious Crownover is a 2021 force to be reckoned with Dametrious Crownover, the No. 2 tight end in the 2021 class, immediately becomes a name that Ohio State fans will want to pay attention to as the 2021 cycle ages. The No. 73 player overall has been talking with Ohio State offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Kevin Wilson for about two weeks and received an offer over the phone from Wilson last weekend. “I was on the phone with him, and we talked for about 15 minutes. Then he told me that they were going to offer me,” Crownover said. “He’s a good guy. I love his intensity. It sounds like he would be a heck of a coach.” Crownover said he appreciates that all of the schools that have shown interest have contacted and offered him but Ohio State in particular. He has offers from schools like Georgia, LSU, Arizona State, Baylor, Michigan, TCU and others. Crownover is one of the more polished tight ends in the class. Standing at 6-foot-7, 235 pounds, he is nearly unstoppable in a Grandview High School offense that won a Texas state title in 2018. Crownover was a two-way player on that team, lining up at both tight end and defensive end as one of the biggest playmakers on the team. Cane Berrong, the No. 1 tight end in the 2021 class, is still the top target for Ohio State at the position for the class, and Wilson has done a good job of cultivating a relationship with the Georgia-native as well. Now, Wilson sees himself entrenched with the top two tight ends as well as Gage Wilcox, the No. 5 tight end out of Tampa. The 2021 class will be a very crucial one for the position, as it appears the Buckeyes will not be hitting a home run at tight end in 2020. It never really was the plan anyway, but Wilson and Ohio State are getting off to a good start if that is the plan for 2021.
