St. George, Utah / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / January 22, 2026 — The National Junior College Prep (NJCP) Football League is honored to celebrate the induction of Board of Advisors member Greg "Coach Cro" Croshaw into the NJCAA Hall of Fame. This prestigious honor recognizes a storied career that helped shape the landscape of junior college football and the lives of countless young athletes across the nation.
Over 24 seasons at the helm of Dixie College (1982–2005), Coach Cro compiled an extraordinary record of 214 wins, 56 losses, and 1 tie, capturing 17 conference championships and finishing as national runner-up twice. His teams consistently set the standard for excellence, producing 36 NJCAA First-Team All-Americans, nine national rushing leaders, and four NJCAA Players of the Year.
“The NJCAA is the biggest thing outside of Division I football,” Coach Croshaw often says—a sentiment he’s lived by throughout his career. His passion for developing talent and building character has left an indelible mark on the sport and the communities he’s served.
Coach Cro’s journey began as a standout player at Yakima Valley Junior College and Weber State, which led to a stint with the Green Bay Packers. His coaching career launched at Dixie College under Tom Ramage, followed by roles under LaVell Edwards at BYU and with Dave and Paul Arslanian at Snow College, where they transformed a struggling program into a nationally ranked powerhouse. He later coached at Northern Arizona University before returning to Dixie College as head coach—bringing his career full circle.
Since retiring, Coach Cro has continued to give back, mentoring local high school athletes and helping them reach the next level. “Helping young men become major college football players—that’s what I do best,” he says with the same fire that fueled his decades-long career.
Coach Cro’s legacy is more than wins and titles—it's about spirit, mentorship, and the enduring belief in the potential of young athletes. His induction into the NJCAA Hall of Fame is a fitting tribute to a life dedicated to the game and the growth of those who play it.
