Cray Paich arrives as a big, polished tackle prospect with starter traits
Cray Paich enters Cincinnati as a 2025 freshman offensive tackle, and the selling point is pretty clear: he’s a massive, highly rated lineman with a strong high-school résumé, including every-game starts at left tackle for Glenbrook North and recognition as a top-100 offensive lineman recruit. He fits the Bearcats’ front with size, length, and the flexibility to grow into either tackle spot; at 6-foot-5 to 6-foot-6 and around 315 pounds, he already has the frame that coaches love. The gap is game experience at the college level, so the real question is how quickly his technique and consistency catch up to his physical tools.
