MID-MAJOR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
 
Drexel’s 6-foot-10 senior Chaz Crawford was named to the Colonial Athletic Association All-Defensive team for three straight seasons, culminating with the CAA Defensive Player |of the Year in 2007.

Add to that the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Defensive Player of the Year.

“Chaz changes the game,” says collegeinsider.com and Basketball Times mid-major columnist Angela Lento. “His presence sets the tone for the Drexel defense. His work on the defensive end was a big reason the Dragons enjoyed so much success this past season.”

One of the premier defenders in all of college basketball, Crawford led the CAA in both rebounding and blocks. He finished ninth in the nation with 3.3 blocks per game and 15th in the country with 9.7 rebounds per game. He is second all-time in Drexel history with 316 blocks and is sixth in rebounding with 801.

Last season Crawford was named to the collegeinsider.com Defensive All-America team.
