Cassidy shined in basketball, collecting accolades such as Southeast Kansas athlete of the month in January 2020 after averaging over 27 points per game during his senior season on the hardwood. He also helped turn around the Columbus Unified High School football team, quarterbacking the squad to an 8-2 record (while throwing 25 touchdowns) his senior year after going 1-8 the previous year.
