Crump added an interception, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries to go along with his first FBS touchdown.[4] For his efforts in his first season at ASU, Crumped was named to the second-team All-Pac-12 conference.[5] For his senior season in 2017, Crump was named to the Lott Impact trophy preseason watch list.[6]
