The Missouri Valley Conference announced it’s newest Scholar Athletes of the Week, and University of Evansville junior outfielder Kenton Crews as been bestowed this week’s honor.
Despite having his 2019 campaign short-circuited by injuries, Crews has persevered in the classroom, posting a 3.43 GPA in communications. This season, Crews played in 11 games for the Aces this season, hitting .225 with three doubles and four RBI before receiving a medical redshirt. A year ago, Crews led the team with 62 hits and 29 RBI, hitting .310 with 12 stolen bases.
Crews is active around the community. Crews spends time in the community helping Habitat for Humanity as he and his teammates helped prepare pieces for Habitat for Humanity’s Barn Blitz. In his other service efforts, Crews has volunteered his time with Holly’s House, a local child and adult victim advocacy center, and Just Read.
Crews is a member of the University of Evansville production crew for The Valley on ESPN. Working games as a color commentator and sideline reporter for men’s and women’s basketball, Crews has excelled and earned himself further opportunities as a member of Evansville’s The Valley on ESPN productions.
