Cross flashed natural ability and raw potential throughout his freshmen season on varsity for Maryvale. 6’3” 165 lbs. he’s got an excellent frame giving him great positional flexibility to line up as a deep safety, fringe box player, or man up in the slot. Plays hard and physically aggressive with the range to play sideline to sideline. Brings good thump as a tackler working downhill in run support accelerating through contact and to be a violent finisher at the POA. Takes efficient angles of pursuit all over the field being able to square up ball carriers in space. With continued improvement in pad level and footwork he’ll be one to watch that could develop into a quality recruit at multiple positions.
