Top 100 Players of 2017 – #20 – Adam Kruzich

ADAM KRUZICH

 Meridian – Junior – #77

6’2” 215 lbs – OL/DL


 Meridian’s “big” lineman. He wasn’t only big. He’s strong, athletic, relentless and extremely tough. He played most the season with an injury, and he was still one of the most dominant linemen in the county. When I first met Adam over the summer I asked him if he was related to Mike Kruzich. He replied, “Yeah, that’s my Dad.” Right then and there, I knew that Adam could be one heck of a player. Mike was an All-State linebacker for Sehome in the mid-80’s, and an awesome offensive lineman. Adam was named All-Conference 1st Team at both offensive and defensive line. He also followed in his father’s footsteps by being named All-State 1st Team at offensive line, as well as All-State 2nd Team at defensive line. And the scary thing is, he’s only a junior!
