Cromer completed 89-of-152 passes (58.6 percent) for 1,116 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior, and he added 336 yards on the ground with nine rushing touchdowns. Cromer was also one of the top punters in the state. He averaged 43.2 yards per punt as a senior for Beatrice, and was a two-time all-state honoree at punter. Cromer began his prep career at Fairbury High School, where he earned all-state accolades.
