Before the 6-foot-6 forward arrived, the Spartans were transitioning from Division II basketball. Over four years with USCU, Craig started 124 games, including 25 as a freshman. The team won just five games in its first season in the Atlantic Sun, but Craig averaged 14.4 points and 7.2 rebounds. He had five double-doubles. The South Carolina native helped the team win 21 games in his sophomore season. Craig provided 16.4 points, and 7.7 rebounds. He was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year. As a junior, he put up 17.2 points and 6.9 rebounds. The Spartans would make a postseason appearance in the CIT in 2014 after another successful season for Craig. He averaged 16.7 points and 7.0 rebounds. Craig closed his career as fifth-leading rebounder in Atlantic Sun history.
