Raylan T-Bone Crowder (born September 6, 2017) is an American football defensive end who played college football for Arizona State (ASU) before entering the DSFL draft for S24. Crowder was drafted 6th Overall to the Dallas Birddogs. After a season in Dallas Crowder was drafted 4th Overall to the reigning champion San Jose Sabercats.

Early years

Raylan Crowder is a proud Kentucky native born and raised in Shelbyville. Son of a Chevy Dealership owner Dewey and School principal Martha, Crowder had a rather easy childhood focussing on sports and driving big trucks.

He attended Shelby County High School where he excelled in baseball, lacrosse and football. During his high school football career he slotted in at Linebacker & Defensive End where he excelled at stuffing the run. On the other side of the ball he would take occasional snaps at Tight end when a big body was needed in the end zone. As a senior Crowder was named state defensive player of the year after racking up 140 tackles, 40 for a loss and 26 sacks. This went alongside 2 catches for 15 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Crowders senior year almost didn't happen. 2 days into the term his car was written off when a truck ran a red light at an intersection. Miraculously he got away with only minor injuries. After the crash Crowder tried to get a nickname to stick, he tried out a couple: Sideswipe, Fallen Angel, Crash and Crush before settling on - T-Bone.

Crowder committed to play college football at Arizona State over offers from Washington, Boise State and Utah.

College career

Used to being the big fish in a small pond Crowder really struggled in his first year at Sun Devil stadium. Having been brought in as a Line backer Crowder was mostly used as a rotational piece and struggled to make an impact. In his 12 games he started 0 made 15 tackles (3 for loss) and registered 1 sack.

In the off-season Crowder changed his diet and training routine putting on a lot of bulk and increasing his power. He turned up to pre season a new man, seeing this the coaches moved him up to Defensive End.

Game 1 of the year was against University of Arizona, Crowder came off the bench early in the first quarter as an injury replacement. His new found power combined lead to him having a career game, doubling his number of tackles in 1 game. Finishing at 16 tackles (4 for loss) 2 forced fumbles (1 recovered) 3 sacks and 1 interception - a feat that he never managed to repeat.

After this introduction to the year Crowder became a cornerstone of the defence. He didn't ever have another game as lucrative as his first but teams would gameplan the fun game away from him and double him up where possible.

The Sun Devils went on to an 11-1 record and took part in the 2037 Lucky Charms Sunbowl. Where they met North Carolina State for the first time since 2017. The Wolfpack once again triumphed over the Sun Devils - with Crowder leaving the field in the second quarter with a minor concussion.

DSFL Career S24

Raylan Crowder entered the S24 DSFL draft in 2039 looking to make a mark on the developmental league. Many experts had him pencilled into the third round and looked likely to be picked up by the London Royals.

In an unprecedented move the Dallas Birddogs ended up claiming Crowder in the first round at number 6 overall. Dallas went on to claim both Lionel Rumper and Sheed Thebaw in the draft bringing three of the Four Horsemen to ply their trade in Dallas.

Key Games

Season 24 wasn't kind to the Dallas Birddogs but that didn't stop Crowder from having a number of very impressive performances. In his first professional game Crowder led the Defensive End position after an 8 tackle performance against the Tijuana Luchadores. He lead all DE in tackling for the first 3 weeks before finally being overtaken in week 4.

Week 2 saw the Birddogs register their first win of the season at home against Kansas City during this game Crowder recorded his first of 3 sacks on the year. Week 10 saw the Birddogs travel to Norfolk in a tough divisional game. Crowder proceeded to add 6 tackles to the stat sheet, two of which were big tackles for loss both of which ended Norfolk drives. Although Dallas went on to lose the game 28-17 Crowders performance bagged him his first game ball of the season. Week 13 saw another big game from Crowder, taking on the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers in Dallas. With 5 big tackles, 1 for loss and 1 sack, Crowder harried the Buccaneers offense and helped end a number of drives. This performance earned him his second game ball of the year and helped Dallas win 34-29 on their way to a 3 game win streak to close out the year

ISFL Career S35

Raylan Crowder went into S35 a broken man. His shoulders were both shot and his knees were going the same way. The fan favourite still kept going out and trying to play each week but it was obvious to all of the fans and even himself that this would be his last season. With 10 seasons under his belt (9 in the ISFL) Crowder showed great resilience to keep going out week in week out even in do much pain. There weren't many highlights for Crowder this season, the peak was probably when he forced a fumble late on into the season. Although he did manage to add 6 sacks to his career total. Crowders last game in San Jose was fortunately a win, however his pitiful stat line of just 1 tackle sealed the deal confirming it was time to move on with his career. Crowder has set up his very own chowder stall in the stadium where he sells his very own chicken chowder and mingles with fans on game day.
