Jamison Crowder, a speedy rising senior playmaker for Monroe High School, has committed to Duke.
Monroe coach Johnny Sowell said the Blue Devils want to use Crowder as a return man on punts and kickoffs, but are undecided on a position for him. Crowder plays defensive back and wide receiver for Monroe, and might add some backfield duties this season.
"He can take a 5-yard pass and turn it into an 80-yard run," Sowell said. "He can take a punt return at any time and take it the distance, as well as a kickoff return."
Crowder is about 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds and is a good student, Sowell said. Crowder also seriously considered North Carolina, N.C. State and Wake Forest.

this kid's an absolute beast--a bona-fide game changer. one of the slickest and purest athletes in the area. Duke's doing something big...
I'd love to see Duke shake up the conference the way Wake did and contend for a championship.
