Crippen was a four-star recruit in high school after attending IMG Academy.

He eventually worked himself into a starting role at the University of Michigan after waiting his turn behind some of the most impressive offensive lines in program history. Throughout his time at Michigan, he played in 40 games and started 21 at center. In 2025, he capped off his career with an All-Big Ten honorable mention selection by the media.

Crippen is getting some attention as a potential draft pick, maybe a mid to late rounder. Still, in recent years, we’ve seen former Michigan offensive linemen end up getting picked up as undrafted free agents. That’s a possiblity for Crippen, after a few lackluster seasons offensively for the Wolverines.

Quick Facts Here are Crippen’s measurements from Michigan’s Pro Day: Height: 6 -foot 3 1/4- inches Weight: 301 lbs Hand: 9 1/2” Arm: 31 3/8” Wing: 77” Vertical: 28” Broad: 8’ 8” Short Shuttle: 4. 71 3-Cone: 7. 92 Bench: 24 Strengths Experience playing at a high level Graded great when it comes to pass blocking schemes (According to PFF) Has shown improvement year after year Capable of creating large gaps for running backs Weaknesses Struggled with consistency as a run blocker Has a hard time making some necessary moves Could follow through on blocks more Hasn’t had much experience working with one quarterback Summary When Crippen is in the zone at center, he can really help get a team’s run game going and offer something in pass protection.
