MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Isaiah Crowell can exhale and just focus on his family, school and football now.
The Montgomery Advertiser reported that both felony weapons charges against the Alabama State running back, who transferred from Georgia where he was named SEC Freshman of the Year in 2011 before the start of last season, were dropped Wednesday.
A piece written by longtime Montgomery Advertiser reporter Tim Gayle chronicles Crowell's journey from a guy coaches described as defiant and out of shape when he arrived on campus at ASU to the focused father he appears to be as he heads into what could be his final season of college football this fall.
Atlanta lawyer Steve Sadow represented Crowell in the case.

Charges dropped against ASU's Isaiah Crowell
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- There are plenty of attractive goals in front of Isaiah Crowell. And that’s just the way one of the nation’s highest profile college football players wants to keep his focus – looking ahead, not reflecting on past mistakes.
In his first interview since being dismissed from the University of Georgia after facing one misdemeanor and two felony criminal charges, the 20-year-old Alabama State University running back shows a more mature side willing to embrace leadership roles and interviews he once would have shied away from.
Crowell, considered by many the top high school running back in the nation as a senior at G.W. Carver High in Columbus, Ga., in 2011, was quickly thrust into the limelight after Georgia’s starting tailback, Washaun Ealey, was dismissed from the team and his backup, Caleb King, was declared academically ineligible.
