Nick Crowle – Football – Yale University

An outstanding student, athlete and leader in the Prep community, Nick Crowle is, in the words of one of his teachers, “destined for success.” Nick’s imprint on the Prep football program is a distinct one for both his outstanding performance on the field and for his leadership as a team captain. Nick's outstanding play this past football season was widely recognized as evidenced in the many post season awards: Walter Camp All-State Team LB; CHSCA All State Team - All classes, LB; New Haven Register All State Team – LB; USA Today All State Connecticut Team, Defensive Player of the Year, LB; Conn Post All Area – LB; MSG Varsity All Tri-State Area 2nd Team, LB; and All-SCC junior and senior years – LB. His leadership among Prep students is further confirmed by his having been chosen as a captain of Prep’s Wrestling team during his junior year and for the recognition he received being named as Prep’s Class of 2014 United States Army Scholar Athlete at the annual NHS Awards Mass. Nick has distinguished himself as one of Prep’s finest students in the Class of 2014 in achieving a 3.97 GPA and earning recognition as a member of the National Honor Society. Active in sharing his academic talents with the community, Nick is a Peer Tutor on campus and has assisted in the after school program at the Cardinal Shehan Center in Bridgeport, CT. He took on the challenge of Prep’s Urban Plunge in his junior year and is currently volunteering at the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen in New Haven, CT. Nick is well known for his citizenship and leadership among his classmates and teammates and looks forward to continuing his academic growth and to playing football at Yale University.

His outstanding play was recognized as he earned the following awards: CHSCA All-State Class LL – DE; USA Today Connecticut All State- DE; and New Haven Register All-Area - DE. His leadership is recognized throughout the school as he is a co-captain of the football team and President of Student Government, where he has been an elected class officer for four years. Over the last two years Tony has dedicated several hours per week to serving his community at the Cardinal Shehan Center in Bridgeport, CT. Their mission is to enrich lives through learning and Tony does this by serving as a tutor in various academic subjects and as mentor to young people of all ages.
