John Crockett
Perhaps nobody will appreciate running out of the tunnel Saturday night more than Bison running back John Crockett, who has spent the last two years gaining his academic eligibility. That included school every summer and watching from afar his future teammates reaching the FCS playoffs two straight years.
“It’s something I’ve been waiting for a long time,” he said. “I’m going to be very, very, very, very, very energized and ready to go.”
He didn’t show much rust in fall camp, although he said his body told him on a couple of occasions that he felt old. Crockett said he may take one glance around the stadium, but that’s it.
“Then it’s time to perform,” he said. “It’s time to go to work. The next chapter in my life is starting. I just want to be on the field again, play with my guys and feel the success that they’ve had.”
Can’t wait to see Crockett! Like Heinz Ketchup- good things come to those who wait!
I hope hes not as slow as heinz ketchup lol
What a great story here! I want to thank you, young Mr. Crockett, for your steadfastness in getting your academic house in order. Now get’er done on the field.
Crockett is the feel good story of the year. Go get ‘em John!
I just hope the RFr OL ahead of him keep their pads low and listen to Fuchs so they are ready for the Valley!
cRocket is going to be good. We are also fortunate to have Sam, the most under-rated runningback in FCS.
Has any team in history ever won all 60 quarters they played in a season? This team could be that good. And look at all the studs that have a (JR) behind their name. It’s a special time for the Bison.
Mr. Crockett I am so very impressed by you as a Bison and I haven’t even seen you play yet. You have earned your spot through all your hard work these last two years. Go out tonight and have a whole lot of fun.
