College career

Cribbs played quarterback at Kent State University, where he is the all-time total offense leader with 10,839 yards. He is one of only four players in NCAA history to record both 1,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in as many as two different seasons, the others being Beau Morgan of Air Force, Vince Young of Texas, and Pat White of West Virginia. Cribbs, in fact, accomplished the feat three times. In his career, he passed for 55 touchdowns and ran for 38 more. His 38 rushing touchdowns are a Kent State record. In addition, he holds the Kent State school record for career pass completions (616), pass attempts (1,123), passing yardage (7,169), touchdowns scored (41), and points scored (246).

Cribbs is also the only player in NCAA history to lead his team in both rushing and passing in four different seasons.

Cribbs played quarterback opposite former Cleveland Browns teammate Charlie Frye who attended the University of Akron, Kent's chief rival and Pittsburgh Steelers signal caller Ben Roethlisberger of Miami University of Ohio.

He was a pre-business major.cite web|accessdate=2007-12-31
