The focus for Cretin-Derham Hall was largely on their dominant offense, but it was impossible to overlook Cartier Russell Cartier Russell 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB Cretinderham Hall | 2027 State MN ‘s impacts as a lengthy and sharp CB who boasts plenty of athleticism to holds his ground against the fastest of receivers. Russell has impressed our scouts with his outstanding testing numbers which seem to get much better with each season. Russell posted a 10.88 100 yard dash time this last month and was noted for posting a whopping personal-best 4.43 40 yard time. Russell’s speed is legit, and he uses that well in the secondary, giving very little separation even with a late first step, and his solid length and hand placement allows him to play on the ball very effectively, making him a premier shutdown CB for the Raiders’ secondary. With offers from South Dakota and Augustana, Russell has been continuously putting in the work over this offseason to get stronger and more explosive, and that should pay huge dividends as he enters his senior season.

I expect the Raiders secondary to be one of the best in the state next season, and athletes like Russell are part of the reason why. He’s a long and athletic corner who shines when put on an island. He’s got legit 4.5-speed which I was able to see firsthand at PRZ’s StockUp Showcase, and when combined with solid ball instincts and some talented recovery skills Russell proves to be a big problem for offenses. On his tape, he’s got a lot of tough reps which he won against high-level wideouts who received NSIC offers. He doesn’t let up a lot of space and should be considered a fast-rising 2027 prospect.
