A Letter Opened by Elijah Crawford
Greetings, BYU community and teammates.
Announcement of my commitment to Brigham Young University fills me with joy and honor. With this choice, I’m starting a brand-new, exciting chapter in my life, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
First and foremost, I can’t wait to play with you and support our team’s success together on the field. I am quite excited about the relationship we will create by perseverance, commitment, and common objectives. I’ve seen the Cougars play with heart and tenacity, and I’m eager to contribute my own enthusiasm, abilities, and energy to the group. We will work together to achieve excellence, challenge one another to the highest standards, and enjoy our successes as a single, cohesive team. I promise to be a reliable brother as well as a teammate, helping you both on and off the field.
To the BYU student body and alumni: Your steadfast devotion to the Cougars and support are admirable. It makes me happy to join this amazing family. I pledge to put in endless effort to uphold BYU’s traditions and history. I’m determined to achieve academic success, develop personally, and proudly and honorably represent our university. Your encouragement, positive attitude, and belief in us motivate us to strive for excellence. I’m excited to get to know a lot of you, hear about your experiences, and experience the pride that comes with donning the BYU colors.
Lastly, I would like to thank the coaching staff for giving me this chance and believing in me. My decision was greatly influenced by your advice and encouragement, and I am excited to develop under your direction.
I’m grateful that BYU welcomed me with open arms. I’m prepared to put everything on the line, to battle for every yard, and to create lifelong memories. Cheers to an amazing voyage yet to come!
Go Cougars!
Sincerely,
Elijah Crawford
