Cash plays mostly off the edge for Lincolnton, but he has the quickness and coverage skills to excel as a linebacker at the next level. He hit our radar right after we published our winter rankings update, and we’ve been patiently waiting to get him into the rankings ever since. He’s a solid player with some untapped upside for Lincolnton.

Caedon Cash Caedon Cash 6'0" | 215 lbs | LB/EDGE Lincolnton | 2028 State NC is a true hybrid linebacker/edge rusher with the toughness and versatility coaches love. The rising junior has good size, plays extremely physical, and has no problem taking on blocks and filling gaps in the run game.

Cash shows strong instincts with the ability to read and react quickly while bringing a high motor every snap. He can play downhill, set the edge, and create disruption around the football.

With a full season expected alongside superstar LB Jalaythan “JJ” Mayfield, Cash has a huge opportunity to elevate his game and see his recruiting take a major leap this season.

Cash came across my radar right after we updated rankings, and after checking out his film, it’s an easy decision to put him in the rankings next update. He has a massive wingspan for his height, and he plays with that length. He can play on the edge or off the ball, and has plenty of production to go with his potential.
