Jeremy Cash – DS – Duke

Cash is a fifth-year senior and a three-year starter. He originally signed with Ohio State and played in five games for the Buckeyes in 2011. Transferred to Duke and had to sit out the 2012 season. Has been a starter at the “Strike” safety position which is a hybrid safety/linebacker type role. He had 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in 2014. He had 101 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks this season. Has six career interceptions.

Size –

6’2′ – 213 – 4.60 (all estimates)

Strong Points –

Very productive, seems to always be around the ball. Good athlete with instincts. Good tackler. Plays well in zone coverage. Effective as a blitzer. Very good run support player. Has the frame to get bigger. Had recent wrist surgery that will have to be checked out.

Weak Points –

Don’t see good top end speed. Needs to get stronger and a little bigger to be effective at the next level. Seldom see in man coverage.

Summation –

Cash is a very productive three-year starter. He lines up as the fifth defensive back and is used as a hybrid safety/linebacker. He is very instinctive and makes a lot of plays. He is best as a run support player and a pass rusher (blitzes). When in coverage he is mostly used in zone and plays underneath routes well. He lacks the speed, hips and suddenness to be a top man cover guy. He has good ball reactions and has totaled six career interceptions. Overall, I feel he will be used as a nickel linebacker at the next level. Needs to get a little bigger and stronger. I doubt he will be used as a true safety because of his limitations.
