Clint Crockett is a native of Pensacola, Florida who played for Carl Madison at Tate High School from 1981–1982. He became a walk-on wide receiver at Ole Miss for a year before determining that his size and talents might be better suited for intramural fields.

After graduating from Ole Miss with a BA in English and an MBA, Clint has spent virtually his entire career in college textbook publishing and educational technology. He currently resides in Oxford, Mississippi with his wife Janna. They have three grown children, Will, Wes, and Reagan.
