Listed Measurements: 6-foot-2, 245 pounds.
2019-20 year, eligibility: A freshman, Cross has all four seasons of eligibility remaining, including 2019.
Depth chart: Recruited as an end, likely on the strongside, Cross may dabble at defensive tackle this season. That is in part due to the depths of talent Notre Dame enjoys at end and in part due to the shallows of health the Irish worry about at tackle. Cross could conceivably arrive this summer and immediately be the third-string 3-technique tackle while early-enrolled classmate Hunter Spears recovers from a torn ACL.
