Personal: The 2008 season will mark Crill's fourth year as a member of the Winston-Salem State University football coaching staff. After three successful seasons as the coach of the Rams' offensive linemen, Crill will switch his focus in 2008 to WSSU's running backs.

In addition to his on-field responsibilities with the Rams' loaded stable of rushers, Crill focuses his off-field efforts on the academic success of WSSU's student-athletes. The 2008 season will mark Crill's second year as the Rams' assistant academic liason as he and assistant coach Aaron Federspiel tirelessly monitor and assess the academic growth and progress towards degree fulfillment of nearly 100 WSSU football student-athletes.

His priority on academics has been instrumental in the fact that more than 20 percent of Winston-Salem State University football scholarship student-athletes earned above a 3.0 GPA during the 2007-08 academic year as well as the fact that 22 football players have been named to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Commissioner's All-Academic team over the span of the last two seasons.

The Rams' football team GPA is the highest ever since the data has been tracked by the WSSU Office of Athletic-Academic Support and the Rams have graduated 79 percent of football student-athletes over the most recent five-year reporting period, due in large part to the efforts of Coach Crill.

A graduate of Angelo State University where he received both his baccalaureate (2002) and M.A. degree (2004) in Kinesiology, Crill came to WSSU by way of Trinity Valley Community College where he served double-duty as the coach of both the offensive and defensive lines as well as the running backs and fullbacks.

Prior to his lone season at TVCC he spent two years as the defensive line coach at his Alma Mater in San Angelo, Texas.

Originally from San Angelo, Texas, he is married to his wife of two years, the former Kendra Thomas of High Point, N.C. The couple reside in Winston-Salem, N.C. and recently had their first child, a daughter, Cathryn in October of 2006. The couple are expecting their second child, a baby girl, in August of 2008.
