A converted tight end who grew into a 6-foot-7 right tackle, Dametrious Crownover started every game across two seasons at Texas A&M before New England drafted him in the sixth round.
Dametrious Crownover arrived at Texas A&M as a tight end prospect before a position switch turned him into one of the Aggies' most reliable offensive linemen. After three years as a backup, he took over at right tackle in 2024 and held the job through a fifth college season in 2025, earning a sixth-round selection from the New England Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Path to the league
Crownover grew up in Grandview, Texas, and enrolled at Texas A&M as a tight end before coaches moved him to offensive tackle. He spent his first three seasons in a backup role, developing his technique behind veteran linemen before earning the starting right tackle job in 2024.
Career highlights
Once he took over as a starter, Crownover became a fixture on the Aggies' offensive line, starting every game at right tackle in both 2024 and 2025 and helping Texas A&M reach the College Football Playoff in 2024 while allowing just two sacks that regular season. At 6-foot-7 and 319 pounds, his combination of length and athleticism made him a coveted developmental tackle prospect.
2025 season recap
In his fifth and final season at Texas A&M, Crownover again started every game at right tackle, logging 784 offensive snaps as the Aggies' anchor on the right side. His steady 2025 tape helped him land with the New England Patriots, who selected him in the sixth round (196th overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
