Jordan Cronkrite
247Sports Recruiting Director Steve Wiltfong wrote that “Notre Dame is the slight favorite for four-star running back Jordan Cronkrite, but West Virginia is definitely right there. Louisville is running third heading into his official this month and Florida remains in the picture. Cronkrite took his official to Notre Dame right before the dead period and has seen his relationship with assistant coach Tony Alford continue to grow.”
Cronkrite hails from Miami, Florida and plays for Westminster Christian School. He played four years on the team’s varsity football team. In 2014, Cronkrite carried 167 attempts for 1172 yards and 10 touchdowns. In his career at Westminster Christian School, he rushed for 4573 yards on 574 attempts with 46 touchdowns. Cronkrite also caught 44 passes for 706 yards with 8 touchdowns.
247Sports ranks him as the 22nd best athlete and rate him as a 4-star recruit. ESPN ranks Cronkrite as the 25th best athlete in the recruit, the 284th best prospect and a 4-star recruit.
