Early life, playing career, and education

Croshaw was born and raised in Seattle. He played junior college football at Yakima Valley College in Yakima, Washington, where he was team captain and most valuable player. He transferred to Weber State College—now known as Weber State University—co-captaining the Weber State Wildcats football team and twice earning all-Big Sky Conference honors. Croshaw tried out with the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL), and was offered to play professional baseball by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but went into coaching instead.^[1] He earned a master's degree from Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1975.^[2]

Coaching career

Croshaw coached running backs and linebackers at Northern Arizona University from 1979 to 1981 under head coach Dwain Painter. Croshaw left Northern Arizona after Painter was fired. He was appointed head football coach at Dixie in December 1981, succeeding Lee Bunnell, who had resigned.^[3]

Croshaw was fired by Dixie State in 2006 as the program prepared to move to the four-year college level and join NCAA Division II competition.^[4] From 2007 to 2010, he was the defensive coordinator at Pine View High School in St. George. He returned to the junior college ranks for a season, in 2011, as head football coach at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona.^[5] In 2012, Croshaw was hired as the head football coach at Cottonwood High School in Murray, Utah.^[6] He compiled a record of 13–19 in three seasons at Cottonwood before resigning in early 2015 due to a heart condition.^[7]
