The Denver Broncos have recently signed University of Wyoming left tackle Frank Crum as a college free agent, adding yet another local player to their 90-man roster following the 2024 NFL draft. Crum, who stands at 6-7 and weighs 315 pounds, played for college football’s Cowboys from 2018-2023, where he was a crucial presence in protecting quarterbacks.
Hailing from Laramie, Wyoming, Crum chose to stay close to home and play for his hometown college after a successful high school career. Over his six seasons at Wyoming, Crum played a total of 43 games, making him one of the most experienced players on the Broncos’ current roster. He played a significant role in helping two Cowboy running backs surpass 1,000 rushing yards in a season, including Xazavian Valladay in 2019 and 2021 and Titus Swen in 2022. In 2020, Wyoming’s rushing offense was ranked No. 17 in the nation.
Despite being considered one of the top undrafted free agents this spring, Crum faces tough competition to secure a spot on the 53-man roster in 2024. The Broncos have invested heavily in veteran offensive linemen in recent years, such as Mike McGlinchey and Ben Powers. However, if Crum performs well during training camp and preseason games, he could earn a backup role on the Denver offensive line.
