Brandon Cross brings veteran experience and special-teams grit to Georgia Southern
Brandon Cross is a former three-star cornerback recruit from Orlando who arrived at Georgia Southern with legit pedigree, including top-100 cornerback rankings from Rivals/247Sports/ESPN in his 2018 class. The Eagles’ roster lists him at 5-11, 190 and the program notes he played in 11 games in the 2019 season, mostly on special teams with a small defensive role late in the year. Why care? He’s the kind of depth piece coaches trust: physical enough to handle contact, experienced in game-day snaps, and valuable if you want a corner who can contribute in multiple phases without needing the spotlight.
