Nate Cross looks like a nasty, versatile young trench piece for Kent State
In the 2025 season, Nate Cross was a redshirt freshman offensive lineman at Kent State who did not play, but his recruiting profile and high school résumé point to real upside: he was billed by Kent State as a dominant blocker with strong finishing ability, zero sacks allowed over a 15-game season, and all five spots on the line on his prep résumé. That kind of versatility is gold for a rebuilding O-line room, especially with a 6-foot, 295-pound frame and early signs of toughness and reliability.
