A New Era for BYU Basketball: Elijah Crawford Joins the Ranks
As the college basketball landscape continues to evolve, BYU has made a significant move to bolster its roster with the addition of Elijah Crawford, a former Stanford signee. The 6-foot-2 point guard from Brewster Academy in New Hampshire brings a wealth of talent and experience to the Cougars.

Crawford’s journey to BYU is an interesting one. Initially signed with Stanford, he sought a release from his letter of intent after former Cardinal head coach Jerod Haase was fired. This move opened up opportunities for Crawford, and he eventually chose BYU after an official visit to the campus.
“We are so excited to welcome Elijah and his family to BYU,” said BYU head coach Kevin Young. “He’s an outstanding young man who’s had a great career at Brewster Academy, one of the best high school programs in the country. As one of the best point guards in his class, his ball-handling and playmaking fit perfectly into our program. We look forward to helping him grow his game in Provo.”
Crawford’s impressive stats from his senior year at Brewster Academy, including 13.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, demonstrate his potential to make an immediate impact at BYU.

As a four-star composite recruit in the class of 2024, Crawford is an excellent addition to the Cougars’ roster. His commitment marks the second four-star composite prospect Kevin Young has landed since taking the helm at BYU.
With Crawford on board, BYU basketball fans have plenty to be excited about. The future looks bright for the Cougars, and it will be fascinating to see how Crawford’s skills translate to the college level.
