Arizona State Fall Camp Standouts - Jordan Crook

Crook exceeded expectations in virtually every fashion last season. The now-senior started the season being held out the first three games due to injury before gradually being re-integrated into the lineup against Texas Tech.

Crook made a mark in numerous areas despite only securing one interception last season - that lone turnover created was in a key moment against Brigham Young.

The senior enters the 2025 season as a penciled-in starter alongside Elliott and has impressed virtually every step of the way during fall camp.

Observations that ASU on SI made in terms of Crook's growth during the offseason.

• Crook has become more physical during camp - putting pressure on the line, making his presence felt at the line of scrimmage, and excelling in skill development drills.

• Crook appears faster and more astute in camp - also has been a more vocal leader of the defense.

• Don't be surprised if Crook is more active in creating turnovers this season - the improved speed, comfortability in the system, and increased communication are all driving forces behind the potential for that result.

Crook has grown exponentially under LB coach A.J. Cooper and Ward - showing standout versatility, conspicuous leadership, and the unwavering willingness to be a disruptive force in any manner that is needed.

The first opportunity to watch Crook in action in the 2025 season is on August 30 - when the Sun Devils welcome Northern Arizona to Tempe.
