Kitan Crawford played one season at Nevada, but he capitalized on the playing time he had there and made the All-Mountain West honorable mention list in 2024.
Crawford began his collegiate career at Texas and was there for four seasons. He played in 46 games. After a combined 12 tackles his first two years, he tallied 25 tackles in 2022 and 24 the following season. He also recorded a tackle for loss and an interception in 2023.
Then he followed head coach Jeff Choate, who was previously a co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach at Texas, to Nevada. Crawford instantly was more productive as he racked up 76 tackles, three for loss, as well as two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, to go with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Crawford then ran the 40-yard dash in 4.41 seconds at the 2025 NFL Combine. That was third among 15 safeties there. That helped him stand out and led to him being drafted by the Cardinals.
