Early years
Cash attended
Cash was rated by Rivals.com as a three-star recruit and was charted as the No. 25 safety in the country. He committed to Ohio State University to play college football in the spring of his junior year (April 2010). The decision was based in large part on his comfort level with then-coach Jim Tressel. Cash bypassed his last semester in high school to enroll at Ohio State early, in January 2011. He also had scholarship offers from Florida State, Colorado, Nebraska, South Florida, Arizona State and Wisconsin before making his collegiate selection.[2]

As a senior in 2015, Cash recorded 100 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, eight quarterback pressures, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in 12 games. He earned multiple national defensive player of the week honors for racking up 12 total tackles, three tackles for loss, a quarterback sack and forcing two fumbles as Duke upset No. 20-ranked Georgia Tech, 34-20. Cash was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year on December 2, becoming the first Blue Devils player to earn the award since it debuted in 1993. He was the first Duke player to win either of the player of the year awards since running back Robert Baldwin was the offensive and overall player of the year in 1994. He received 19 votes, ahead of Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson (13), Pittsburgh defensive end Ejuan Price (7), Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey (7), Louisville defensive end Sheldon Rankins (2), Virginia Tech defensive tackle Luther Maddy (1) and Virginia safety Quin Blanding (1).

Professional career
Once his collegiate career was finished, many analysts projected him to be drafted in the second or third round. He was invited to the combine but did not do any drills or workouts due to a hamstring and wrist injury.[11] He was able to perform the bench press by the time Duke's Pro Day came and did 13 reps of 225 lbs. It was reported ten teams had showed up at Duke's Pro Day including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals, and Atlanta Falcons.[12] Cash was able to perform the position drills for scouts at his private workout. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Cash's projected draft position fell to the fourth or fifth round. Scouts said his best attributes were his size, physicality, and how well he plays in the box. His problems handling man coverage was his biggest issue.[13]
