Ty Crutcher Jumps to Division I | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.

Senior cornerback Ty Crutcher began his college career as a wide receiver at the JUCO level, transferring to West Florida (D-II) after making the switch to corner.

Crutcher played sparingly with West Florida last season, appearing in ten games and making 13 tackles. He displayed a nose for the football, however, picking up an interception, two fumble recoveries and four passes defended.

At 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, Crutcher has the frame of a slot cornerback. Adjusting from West Florida to the Big 12 will provide quite the challenge, but with a position group needing fresh faces, Crutcher can at least get a look in summer camp.

Last year: Crutcher racked up roughly one tackle per game at West Florida, a low mark even for a slot cornerback.

Stats: He recovered two fumbles, intercepted a pass and broke up four more in 2024.

Camp outlook: Given his meteoric climb from community college to Division I, coaches see potential in Crutcher.

Projected role: If he can’t get on the field at cornerback, Crutcher’s history as a wide receiver and nose for the football could earn him a look at other positions like special teams.

Accolades, highlights: Crutcher’s journey from JUCO to WVU Football, all while navigating a position switch, makes his story an easy one to root for.
