Jonathan Scott "Jon" Crispin (born January 19, 1981) is an American former basketball player for the Penn State Nittany Lions and UCLA Bruins.
Jon was born to parents Steven and Susan Crispin in Pitman, New Jersey, and has three siblings, one brother and two sisters. His older brother is former high school and Penn State teammate Joe Crispin. Joe had a brief NBA career. His father Steve played football at Villanova. Jon's grandfather Cliff was a two-sport (baseball and basketball) athlete at Temple (1957–59) and played in the 1958 Final Four. Cliff also owns the Maryland state high school boys' basketball single game scoring record of 79, set in 1956.
Crispin attended his hometown Pitman High School from 1995-1999. He became a four-year starter on the varsity basketball team, two of which were alongside his older brother Joe. As a senior, he earned an "All-Group All-State" second-team honor. For three straight years he earned Group I All-State honors. During his prep basketball career, Crispin led the Panthers to two conference titles, two South Jersey crowns and two Group I NJ State Championships (1997 & 1998).
As a junior in 1998, Jon scored a school-record 62 points (21-35 FG, 12-19 threes) in a South Jersey Group I playoff game versus Penns Grove High School. He eventually ended his prep career as fourth on Gloucester County's all-time scoring charts after collecting 2,319 points.
