Our Founder

SHAUN CRAWFORD

PRESIDENT, LOCAL LEGEND

Shaun Crawford, former Notre Dame football captain and founder of Varsity House, a sports multimedia company. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and a proud alum of St. Edward High School. His athletic career included many highlights but also setbacks, including 3 season-ending injuries. Battling back from each injury, he was able to earn All ACC and Mayo Clinic Comeback Player Of The Year Honorable Mention along with the honor of being named team captain for the program. Off the field, he graduated with a Bachelor's in Design and Master's in Business from the University.

After his college career, he fulfilled his dream of making it to the NFL, spending time with Las Vegas Raiders. The obstacles he faced as a football player presented a unique perspective on the complexity of an athlete’s life that he intends to share with the community through different programming and mentorship. His passion for starting Varsity House and Local Legend Foundation comes from being an athlete in the spotlight, but wanting to have more to offer when his career came to an end.
