Aashari Crosswell - Free Safety Arizona State Sun Devils Scouting Report

AASHARI CROSSWELL | Arizona State | DS | #16 | Jr | 6002 | 205 | Long Beach, CA | Long Beach Poly

Overview: 

A high-flying safety from the desert, Crosswell was a versatile playmaker for the Sun Devils. Crosswell has great speed and isn’t a one-trick pony. He can play as the deep safety, box safety, or even as a slot corner. Crosswell has a wide tackle radius and will get his hands on opponents no matter what and try to bring them down. His football motor keeps on chugging to the whistle. While his tackling is solid, he will occasionally take bad angles when trying to bring down the ball-carrier. Crosswell’s coverage skills need some work. His hips lack fluidity when changing directions quickly. He chose to opt out of the 2020 season after playing in only one game after losing his starting position to Boise State transfer DeAndre Pierce, leaving several question marks. Crosswell may not be one of the top safeties off the board, but his combination of size and athletic ability will provide many suitors to develop his overall game.
