I don't know whether or not he was trying to go to a bigger school to play football. But are you under the impression that elite athletes don't party and drink a lot?

Think he was talking about the “tryout” part.

He would have to be a student at the school to do that, correct?

You can’t just “tryout” for a university’s team without meeting certain requirements first.

Perhaps I misunderstood him then.

In any case, I believe Nolan was enrolled at a community college and was playing football there He may have been planning to eventually transfer out and try out for a D1 program. That's possibly what Crump was referring to.
Truthfully, I don't know.

Probably some school's summer camp they put on every year for recruits not necessarily a "tryout" but a workout for the coaches.

Sure, but Crump is clearly just playing up that angle and misconstruing.

He couldn’t have a D1 tryout in a week as that doesn’t exist.

The only way to even tryout for a sports team is as a walk on.

There is no such thing as an in person tryout for a DII player and the portal window ended 6 months ago.

Just another example of Crump lying for personal gain.

was he FCS? If so, he'd have to enter the portal before trying out for another university.

But please dont take anything Ben Crump says seriously. He's here for one reason and one reason only... the stir up shite and make himself money

True, and he is way outside the window for football, basketball, and ice hockey.

Baseball’s just ended on June 30th.

Is this what was said? That he had a D1 tryout in a week? I'm asking.

I wish I would have made a note of the girl's name because there is ZERO reporting on it, but I read yesterday that there was a fairly recent case where a white girl stayed behind with other friends at a sand bar or something similar and drowned.

The tryout part is not legal for D1, FCS, D2 or JUCO players (which he was) It is lot legal for active staff, consultants or analysts to evaluate players from other schools independently.

Send them up there and tell them about the Alaska Permanent Fund if they stay there full time each year.

I went back and reread Crump’s statement, and, my opinion of the grifter aside, I seem to have misread.

DII can have tryouts for high school students at certain times.

This is from the NCAA:
quote:

June 1, 2025 until the beginning of the recruit’s first regularly scheduled football practice: Quiet period
During the recruit’s high school or junior college football season, starting with the first regularly scheduled practice

December 1 (7 am) – 3 (7 am) 2026 for all two-year college prospective student athletes enrolling mid year: Dead period

January 12–14, 2026: Dead period

February 2 (7 am) – 4 (7 am), 2026: Dead period
I don’t know what that means though.

So, he was already in college?

If that is the case, yea, not legal.

Ok then, I didn't see the actual quote before. Nolan had just finished his freshman year of college at a local 2-year school where he played football.

If he genuinely was trying to play at a larger school, which is not unbelievable. The portal window is already long closed. The way it works is he would have to already be accepted at said school, and he would attend walk-on tryouts .As someone who walked on at the college level, early July seems awfully early for college football walk-on tryouts. But I could be wrong as well.

Most likely, Crump is either blatantly lying or wildly exaggerating in order to garner sympathy. Which, frankly, I don't think that should even be necessary. By all accounts, this seems to be a tragic story of a young man with a bright future ahead of him, who passed at a young age.

Shouldn't we have the autopsy results by now? It's been 4 days. How long does it take?
