Senior ● Forward ● 6-2 ● 217 ● Trincity, TRI ● Young Harris

Arguably one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the Peach Belt Conference… Has the rare combination of size, strength and speed that makes him tough to contain up front… An All-Peach Conference and All-Southeast Region selection last season... Strikes the ball well and does a tremendous job finishing around the net… Has tremendous pace and touch for a player his size… A legitimate All-PBC, All-Southeast Region and All-American hopeful this season.
2005: Broke into the Laker fold with an ultra-successful junior season, playing in 21 games with 15 starts at forward… Ranked second on the team in scoring with seven goals and five assists for 19 points… Selected both All-Peach Belt Conference and NCSAA Division II All-Southeast Region… Finished tied for seventh in the Peach Belt in goals scored and eighth in points… Scored two goals against North Greenville and a goal each against Belmont Abbey, SCAD, Tampa, Francis Marion and USC-Upstate.
Pre-Clayton State: Two-year letterwinner at Young Harris… Junior college head coach was Jim Thomas… An All-Region 17 selection as a sophomore... Played on the U-20 Trinidad National Team and scored a goal for his native country in a 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships game against the United States.
Personal: Born: October 17, 1985 in Trindad...  Parents are Allan and Gwenda Crooks… Favorite food is crab and dumplings… Major is business marketing.
