Kent State LB Semaj Cross brings proven tackle production and versatility
Semaj Cross enters Kent State as a **linebacker with real production**, after recording **40 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception in 2024** at Lafayette, showing he can finish plays and impact both run and pass defense. He also brings positional flexibility—his background and ratings list him as a **Sam backer**, suggesting range and comfort playing in space. For a team, he looks like a steady, assignment-sound defender who can add depth immediately; the main question is whether he translates that production against higher-level MAC competition.
