Early years
Crunk was born in Natchez, Mississippi on May 5, 1999, the oldest of four brothers to parents "Lil" Jon and Nicole Crunk. He attended Natchez High School where he was a four-year starter on the Bulldogs football team. Initially a two-way player, he played safety and wide receiver while also returning kicks.
After switching to safety full-time in his senior year, Crunk recorded 73 tackles, 9 interceptions and 14 pass deflections, anchoring a Bulldogs defense that carried the team to the Mississippi State Championship game. Despite Crunk recording 2 interceptions in the game, the Bulldogs lost 6-3 to the Wayne County War Eagles led by future ISFL prospect L'Gazzy Burfict.
Crunk was rated by Scout.com as a five star recruit and was ranked among the top ten overall recruits in his class, and the number one defensive player in the state of Mississippi. After initially committing to the University of Alabama, he switched his commitment to Clemson University on National Signing Day 2017.
College career
Crunk graduated from Natchez High School early, attending 2017 spring practice at Clemson. Despite this, he would never play for the Tigers, after being suspended from the team following an incident with a stolen laptop. Despite the Pickens County Sheriff's Office stating that charges against Crunk had been dropped, Clemson University announced that his scholarship was being revoked and he would be leaving the program.
For the 2037 season, Crunk joined the Independence Community College football program, citing a lack of Division 1 interest in him. He adapted quickly to the Junior College game, recording 66 tackles, 10 interceptions and 17 pass deflections in a season that saw him lead the Pirates to a NJCAA National Championship. This season was chronicled in the popular docuseries Final Warning College, with Crunk being one of the athletes heavily featured in the show.
Prior to the 2038 season, Crunk announced that he would be transferring to the University of Mississippi. In his only season with the Rebels, Crunk recorded 55 tackles, 10 interceptions and 20 pass deflections, and returned two punts and a kickoff for touchdowns.
On July 20, 2039, Crunk declared for the DSFL draft, signifying his intention to become a Season 25 rookie in the ISFL.
