Crompton earned a shot at making an NFL roster with a strong senior season for the Volunteers, passing for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns, more scoring passes than all but two other quarterbacks in UT history.

Despite not being invited to the 2010 NFL Combine, Crompton turned an invitation to the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star game into his personal proving ground. He left the Knoxville, Tenn. campus as the school’s seventh leading passer of all-time with 4,187 yards and as a senior put together an impressive streak of 142 passes without an interception, just one off the school’s all-time mark.
