After being offered by Rutgers in April, the NJ.com reported that Cross’ final destination could be determined by which school offers the best academics.
"As much as I love football, I'm looking more for the education," Cross said, according to the NJ.
Cross, Jr. played in the NFL for 13 years after being drafted out of Alabama in the sixth-round of the 1989 NFL Draft.
