Cronin moved up from the #19 spot to the overall top-10 with the huge recruiting movement he’s seen this offseason. The 6’6″/280 two-way player out of Bishop Manogue announced his commitment to Boise St. last month after picking up eleven D-I offers since the start of the year. He was a breakout player on both sides of the ball last season but carries tremendous upside at OT heading into his senior season. Cronin checks in as the #9 overall prospect in Nevada’s 2026 class.

Cronin took a campus visit to Fresno St. this week. The #3-OL prospect in PRZ NV’s 2027 rankings has been steadily raising his stock on the recruiting trail this offseason adding offers from Nevada and Northern Arizona in recent months. He put together a strong season on both sides of the ball for Bishop Manogue in the fall and offers promising physical traits at 6’5″/245. Cronin also took visits to UNLV and San Diego St. in the winter.

Cronin showed his prowess in the trenches on both sides of the ball as an OT and DE for the 5A D-II state champs this season. The 6’6″/245 junior racked up 13.5 TFLs and a team-leading 9 sacks while also earning first team All-Region honors on offense. Athletic blocker that possess highly sought-after OT traits in his length, technique, and bend/flexibility. Patient pass blocker that times an effective strike to disrupt the rush, resets on light feet, and possesses the lateral agility to stay in front. Quick to his spot in the run game and can pick up blocks at the second level. Cronin’s drawn interest from San Diego St., Nevada, and Dartmouth and could be on track to pick up his first offer in the coming months.
My regular season Highlights! @eehowren @c_manu75 @KenCrawford36 @ManogueFB https://t.co/ezG9PPasDr
