A five-star NFL prospect from Louisiana has become an internet sensation, with a name that matches his impressive game.
De’Coldest Crawford became an overnight superstar after an interview with a local news station in his home state of Louisiana caught fire on social media, with people quickly seeing his unique first name.
The 19-year-old was given an unofficial nickname by twitter users, finishing off his already brilliant first-name with ‘ToEvaDoIt’.
De’Coldest’s game as a wide receiver in high school only grew after his name became an internet sensation, being selected to the all-state team as a junior after a breakout season.

His game took a slight decline in his senior season, as the team fielded a rookie quarterback who struggled to find his feet.
Crawford’s disappointing junior season didn’t affect his future ambitions, as many scouts saw the potential and raw talent the Lousiana-native possessed.
He left high-school with an impressive resume and was chased by some of the biggest college’s across the country.

Whilst his home-town LSU came calling, Crawford opted to move to Nebraska to join the CornHuskers where he will become of the stars on offence.
The 19-year-old has continued to make a name for himself after starring in an air-conditioning commercial with a bit of clever name play on De’Coldest.

De’Coldest begins his college career with Nebraska in just under two-weeks time and is expected to be drafted in the 2023 NFL draft if he applies for it.
Crawford will have plenty of eyes on heading into his first year at Nebraska, but he is yet to disappoint in his young career and looks destined for a great football career.
