College Career Summary

Dametrious Crownover’s journey at Texas A&M is a testament to physical development. Recruited as a 4-star tight end, he spent his first three seasons primarily as a backup and a "jumbo" athlete, slowly transitioning into a full-time offensive tackle. After earning his first career start in the 2023 Texas Bowl, he became the permanent starter at Right Tackle for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

The 2025 season was Crownover's "showcase" year in Mike Elko's offensive front. He was a critical piece of a rushing attack that surpassed 200 yards in six consecutive games, including a dominant 242-yard performance against LSU. While his frame is undeniably elite, his tape in 2025 was marked by high-level consistency in the run game contrasted with significant disciplinary issues, finishing the year as one of the most penalized tackles in the Power 4.

Scouting Grade Rubric

Intangibles (.20) — Grade: 84/100

• Leadership: High. Graduate leader; "Aggie Unselfish Leadership" winner.

• Mental Toughness: Solid; successfully transitioned from TE to OT in the SEC.

• Competitor: Fierce; a "finisher" who looks to put defenders in the dirt.

• Team Player: High; willingly changed positions and waited his turn for 3 years.

• Star: Moderate; his size is a factor, but penalties often kill the "star" momentum.

Physical Tools (.20) — Grade: 96/100

• Height/Weight: 6'7", 336 lbs. (Elite measurements; prototypical NFL frame).

• Stamina: High; maintains power late into games despite his massive weight.

• Durability: High; started every game in 2024 and 2025.

• Injury History: Medically clean; no major missed time in 4 seasons.

Attributes (.20) — Grade: 82/100

• Run Block: Elite. Use of size and leg drive to displace SEC defensive ends is rare.

• Pass Block: Solid; allowed only 1 sack in 2025, though pressures are an issue.

• Strength: Plus; "heavy hands" that jolt defenders on initial contact.

• Technique: Average/Critical. High-waisted build makes him a "leaner." Hand placement is erratic, leading to high penalty counts.

• High Motor: Consistent; high effort on screens and second-level climbs.

Athleticism (.20) — Grade: 85/100

• Speed: Good; former TE speed shows when he's out in space pulling.

• Agility: Moderate; lateral mirroring is his biggest hurdle against NFL-ready twitch.

• Flexibility: Average; struggles to "sit" in his stance due to high center of gravity.

• Acceleration: Good; explosive first step forward in the run game.

• Footwork: Needs work; can look "robotic" and feet get stuck when mirroring.

IQ (.20) — Grade: 88/100

• Awareness: Solid; good at sensing interior stunts, though delayed blitzes can catch him.

Scouting Report

• Strengths: Gargantuan frame with the athleticism of a former tight end; elite "people-mover" in the run game; surprising pass-protection efficiency (1 sack allowed); heavy hands that dictate contact.

• Weaknesses: Critical Lack of Discipline (11 penalties in 2025); high-waisted build leads to leverage loss; robotic lateral movements; tendency to "reach" and "waist-bend" rather than move his feet.

• Scheme Fit: Ideal for a Power-Gap or Inside Zone system (e.g., Cowboys, Browns, Steelers).

• NFL Comparison: Trent Brown (lighter version) / Dawand Jones.

Scout's Final Word

"Crownover is a 'traits-first' prospect. You can't coach 6'7" and 336 lbs with tight end feet. His run-blocking tape is essentially a highlight reel of displacement. However, his 11 penalties in 2025 are a massive red flag for NFL coaches. He plays too 'tall,' which forces him to hold when beaten by speed. If an NFL staff can lower his pad level and clean up his hand discipline, he’s a Pro Bowl RT. If not, he’s a career backup who will drive his offensive coordinator crazy. Draft Projection: 3rd - 4th Round."
