2025 (Freshman): Casson became the eighth player in program history to be lauded with All-American honors and just the fifth pitcher. The ABCA and D2CCA named Casson the Southeast Region Pitcher of the Year, First Team All-Region, and Second Team All-American honors. Across both NAIA and NCAA era, Casson is just the eight pitcher to become an All-American. The right-hander is just the fourth player coached by Tom Griffin to be named an All-American. He earned two Southeast Region Pitcher of the Year awards to go along with winning SAC Pitcher of the Year and SAC Freshman of the Year, becoming the first ever individual in the South Atlantic Conference to garner two individual awards in one season. He was also a First-Team All-SAC pitcher as well. The Benton, Tenn. native had a 2.35 earned run average in 95.2 innings of work. His ERA is the sixth lowest in a season in program history and second lowest by a C-N starting pitcher. Those 95.2 innings are the sixth-most in a single-season in program history. The innings came across 15 starts, tied for the fifth-most in one season in C-N baseball history. In his 15 starts, Casson was 13-1, including wins in his first 11 starts of his collegiate career. The 13 wins are tied for the most wins in a single season in school history and are the most in DII this year. Casson had six complete games as a rookie, tied for the second-most in program history. He went the distance in three straight outings, with two of those performances being 12 and 13 strikeout efforts, one of which came against #7 Lenoir-Rhyne on April 12. Casson had six straight starts in which he allowed one run or less. In the month of March, he made five starts and won them all while also posting a 0.84 ERA. 12 of his 15 starts were quality starts (6IP with 3 ER or less). He posted at least six strikeouts in eight of his 15 outings. Despite letting a lead-off batter reach at a .371 clip on the year, opponents hit .199 with runners on base, .187 with two outs and .212 as a right-handed batter. He did not yield more than eight hits in any game on the year and pitched at least seven innings in more than half of his starts.
High School: In Casson's senior season at Polk County high school, he went 6-0 and had 81 strikeouts to just 11 walks. He had 213 strikeouts during his high school career.
