Though nagging injuries limited his freshman campaign, he showed flashes at the Robco Jamboree of just how dominant he can be. Still raw in some areas, Cruickshank racked up multiple tackles for loss and several sacks, overwhelming blockers with his length and energy. If he continues to develop, he has the potential to become one of the most dominant defensive linemen the region has seen in years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685581"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689b4cd371566"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'3" with blazing 4.4 speed, [player_tooltip player_id='1685581' first='Tariq' last='Leggett'] was everywhere for Fairmont's defense. A vocal leader in the secondary, he delivered punishing hits on both receivers and running backs, setting the tone physically.
