As mentioned previously, Crump originally came to Georgia as an in-state prospect in the Bulldogs 2016 recruiting class out of Bainbridge High School. Crump was arguably the headline name from that 2016 class as well, where he was rated as a four-star combo guard.

Crump would go on to play immediately at Georgia as a freshman, where he would start in 1-of-28 games during the 2016-17 season. That season, Crump would average 3.6 PPG, while also shooting a noteworthy 88.9% from the free throw line.

Crump’s 2018-19 junior season however would be arguably his best while in Athens, a year where he would start 4-of-32 games for the Bulldogs in what was the first year of the Tom Crean era. As to what that year included, Crump would average 9.1 PPG, 1.7 RPG, and 1.5 APG, shooting 34.8% from three, as well as 78% from the free throw line.

Coming off that strong season, Crump would go on to start in 14-of-30 games as a senior during the 2019-20 campaign. Seeing a similar amount of minutes to his junior year, Crump would post averages of 6.9 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 1.1 APG, while also shooting an impressive 85.2% from the free throw line.

Across his four-year career with Georgia basketball, Crump would start in 21-of-121 total games, averaging a combined 6.6 PPG, 1.5 RPG, and 1.1 APG during that span. Crump would also shoot a combined 79.9% from the free throw line, as well as 33.6% from three for his Georgia career.
