2028 Cassell Cruickshank DE from Fayetteville, NC (E.E. Smith HS)

[lindend]

Canes offered Cassell a month ago (Feb 20, 2026) and he debuted as #10 on the Rivals 2028 Recruits list. Since Tucker reposted the Rivals debut, likely a recruitment to monitor.

Cassell Cruickshank is an explosive pass rusher with a relentless motor.

Definitely should put a bid in on that recruitment.

From an On3 story published yesterday.


Fayetteville (NC) E.E. Smith’s touted 2028 edge rusher Cassell Cruickshank tells Rivals he has a big list of schools he’s planning to visit this fall.

“Alabama, Auburn, Texas, Notre Dame, South Carolina, UF, Oklahoma, Tennessee, FSU, Texas A&M,” Cruickshank said.

From that group, Cruickshank added that each of those programs have been recruiting him well.

This groups has evolved some from the spring with Alabama, Auburn and South Carolina being consistent ones he’s always mentioned.

If you survive Fayettnam without getting shot or marrying a stripper you made it.

EE Smith is (or at least used to be) a lot of dependent kids. Fayettenam is better than it was when I was a young'in, but not much lol.
