Tape Breakdown
Considering Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson’s poor athletic testing, I was curious to see how or if that would appear on tape. In the first game I watched of his, it was clear that despite the poor testing, he works really well in open space.
Here, he is tasked with chipping the edge before going out to block for the screen. He gives Princely Umanmielen, a projected day two pick, a strong swat that throws him off his path to the quarterback before moving out as the lead blocker. He gets to the boundary with adequate speed and is able to shove the defender out of the way.
The screen results in a touchdown for Florida thanks to two key blocks from Crenshaw-Dickson. As a side note, from his work in the community to his demeanor on the field, Crenshaw-Dickson seems like a great teammate. Here you can see how much fun he is having by celebrating the touchdown directly after his second block.
This is where we get into the negatives of Crenshaw-Dickson. Here again, against Umanmielen, he leaves his chest open. This allows Umanmielen to long-arm Crenshaw-Dickson and get him off-balance. Actively losing ground and being pushed back into the quarterback, if it wasn’t for the chip help from the guard, Crenshaw-Dickson would’ve allowed a sack here. This raises concerns about him as a pass protector and being left alone on an island with a rusher.
On this play, we see how Crenshaw-Dickson handles interior defensive linemen in J.J. Pegues, who is another day two projected player. Pegues is able to keep Crenshaw-Dickson steady with another long arm. Crenshaw-Dickson gets overly comfortable due to Pegues not generating a real rush. This is when Pegues starts to disengage, and Crenshaw-Dickson simply lets Pegues out of his frame for the hit on the quarterback.

I was excited to see how Crenshaw-Dickson handled the all-star cast at the Shrine Bowl, considering he only had one year of elevated play in college. The sad part is, he was disappointing. Losing reps with both finesse and power. This was one of two reps he lost to SMU’s Elijah Roberts due to power. Roberts was the first to connect with a powerful blow to the chest and you can see Crenshaw-Dickson struggling to place his hands on Roberts.
Crenshaw-Dickson is unable to recover and Roberts drives him straight back into the theoretical quarterback. Power wasn’t a noticeable struggle on tape for Crenshaw-Dickson, but it was during the Shrine Bowl. He also only put up 15 reps on the bench press, which falls in the eighth percentile.
Here is one of the few reps he lost to speed. Going against BYU’s Tyler Batty, Batty starts with an outside attack before swatting Crenshaw-Dickson’s hands and crossing his face back inside. Finishing off the rush with a rip, Batty successfully fights his way to the quarterback. This is one of a few examples where Crenshaw-Dickson looked like he was fighting against elevated competition rather than peers.
Conclusion
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson made a large jump in 2024 going from San Diego State to Florida as the 32nd ranked offensive tackle in the transfer portal. He played pretty well considering the improvement in competition. It was also the first year since 2021 where he was solely a right tackle.
I think Crenshaw-Dickson is a swing tackle at the next level who needs refinement in his lower body and to reduce penalty issues if he wants more of a chance to start. He struggled at the Shrine Bowl which may have hurt his stock but teams showed interest in him there nonetheless.
My player comparison for Crenshaw-Dickson is Dan Skipper. Both tested with very poor RAS scores, had penalty concerns, and played both tackle spots in college. They also share above average frames for their position. Skipper went undrafted in the 2017 draft but has stuck around the league as a practice squad player for multiple teams and a consistent rotational lineman for Detroit.
I think with more development, this can be the career arc of Crenshaw-Dickson. Crenshaw-Dickson may get selected late on day three due to his special-teams experience and ability to be a swing tackle. However, with an older age and multiple weaknesses that showed up in college as well as the Shrine Bowl, I would not be surprised if he goes undrafted.
Projection: Late day 3
Depot Draft Grade: 6.1 (6th-7th round – End of Roster/Practice Squad)
Games Watched: Shrine Bowl (2025), Ole Miss (2024), San Jose State (2021), UTSA (2021)
