Cashmere Jones Cashmere Jones 5'7" | 145 lbs | ATH Passaic Tech | 2024 State NJ is a player I became familiar with over the off season, and has lived up to all of the hype. A talent on both sides of the ball, Cashmere has played exceptionally well in the defensive backfield. Another player that gravitates to wherever the ball is, Cashmere has 68 tackles on the season and 5 interceptions to go with it. He also returned one of those picks for 6. Cashmere is one of the fastest players on the field, and is able to close in on runners and receivers very quickly. He is sure to have a big game this weekend.

One of the things that sets Passaic County Tech apart from other teams is that their roster is loaded with athletic talent that are overly-viable options at a number of spots on the field. Having already covered Bulldogs such as Jovan Tyrell Jovan Tyrell 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Passaic County Tech | 2024 State NJ , Jordan Alston Jordan Alston 5'6" | 170 lbs | LB Passaic | 2024 NJ , and Trashon Dye Trashon Dye 6'0" | 195 lbs | RB Passaic | 2024 State NJ , today we take a look at what the 5’7″ 145lb RB Cashmere Jones Cashmere Jones 5'7" | 145 lbs | ATH Passaic Tech | 2024 State NJ offers. Last season he slashed 80/496/5 on the ground, 15/171/1 through the air, was credited with 111 tackles (2 for a loss), 1 FR, 2 Int on defense, 1 blocked kick, and 1 return TD.

Jones knows how to spring loose and boogie. He routinely gets himself into the open field with his shiftiness and wiggle. Jones does this by making would-be tacklers look silly in the spin-cycle, shedding them as they try to bring him to the ground. Jones can stop-and-go, cut back, and hit any hole he likes without losing as so much as a step. He, too, also follows his blockers and executes the play it where it is designed to hit. There have also been instances of Jones flashing versatility when lining up either split out or in the slot too. It would not hurt Jones to add a few pounds of muscle through this offseason. Doing so will allow him to run through arm tackles and possibly make him more explosive too.

To be 5’7″ 145lb and produce like he does, Jones has some dawg in him. It will be interesting to see how he adds to his game this fall.

If you haven’t heard of him yet, now’s the time to be introduced. I’ll say it, when Cashmere Jones Cashmere Jones 5'7" | 145 lbs | ATH Passaic Tech | 2024 State NJ is on the field, you can be sure there is no one faster on it.  Totaling over 1000 all purpose yards and 6 touchdowns in 2022, Cashmere has arguably the fastest acceleration I’ve seen in NJ thus far. He truly has next level speed.

While he is smaller then other highly ranked running backs, I can assure you that is not an issue. He runs like he’s 6’1″, somehow breaking arm tackles and jersey tackles very easily. A player with amazing vision, Cashmere is a threat on the field as a receiver and a runner. He is another player that you need to go see in 2023.
