With his football career over, Cravens looked elsewhere for income and a sense of purpose in life. He started focusing more on making music, which had been a hobby of his since high school. It started with freestyling rap battles against teammates, like USC WR Darreus Rogers, and grew through his conversations with USC DB Leon McQuay III, who was a music industry major.
Once his NFL salary gave him the means, Cravens built his own studio and has been writing lyrics and producing songs, both for himself and other artists, ever since.
In addition to making music, Cravens has designs for another career path.
He'd like to become a coach.
“I’ve always wanted to coach because I feel like I have a great football mind,” he explained. “I had to play so many different positions when I was at SC and even in high school and the NFL, so I’ve learned defense from every angle. I’ve gotten to learn offense from seeing so many different offenses, too. When I was done playing, I thought, ‘I don’t want to waste this mind.’ I want to get my hands on the youth, whether it be high school or college and just share the info that I’ve gained.”
Indeed, Cravens seemed to switch positions on a yearly basis. He came to USC as a safety, but a teammate's injury forced him to move to outside linebacker. He was then drafted as a safety, but thrown in at middle linebacker for Washington.
Whether he becomes a hit music producer or a legendary coach, first thing's first: he wants to earn his Bachelor's degree in sociology from USC.
“I made a promise to my parents that I'd get that degree,” he said. “Got to finish that degree and become a real Trojan.”
