He was just recently my North Dakota nominee for Prep Redzone's Breakout Player of the Year in which we nominated one player per state in all 50 states for that selection and Cash was the no-brainer selection for me from the 701. The 6'4 225 pounder had some eye-catching testing numbers for that size over the summer as the Bison faithful will get a tight end that is very well-rounded with his skillsets for the position as a pass-catcher and a blocker. I have always been impressed by Cash's range he has for his size on both sides of the ball, which should enhance success in the future on vertical routes as Cash is extremely fluid and it's clear the Bison see the upside for him as a route-runner. Great sized catch radius that has grown quite well since he was at our showcase which seems like years ago already and he has shows how much of a problem he is in the open field.. Surely a great home state get for the Bison as it's been noted, that NDSU is also Cash's dream school despite being 15 minutes from the Bison's rivals to the north.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
