is an intriguing defensive end prospect who’s going under the radar, but has some upside as a college football player.
He stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 260 pounds with a lean, athletic frame. Cruse lacks top-end length, but is well-built with a twitchy ability off the end. The senior has a good first step, keep his eyes in the backfield, has high football IQ and penetrates the backfield at a consistent rate.
I think there is pass-rush upside, but he must polish his skills in that area. Still, I think he’s one of the elite run stuffers in Division II-AA. He consistently gets into the backfield, finds the tailback, sets the edge and commands multiple blockers at once.
