Intriguing Princeton DB With Upside, But Injuries Have Slowed His Momentum
Cross is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound junior defensive back who has shown he can contribute when healthy, but injuries have limited his availability: he played in every game in 2022, then appeared in only four games in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2025. Princeton’s roster lists nine tackles in 2022, three in 2023, and six in 2024, which suggests a player with enough range and toughness to factor into the secondary when on the field. The main question for a team is durability; the upside is a proven Ivy League DB who has already shown he can compete in game action.
