Bruton put together one of the most eye-opening sophomore seasons in the region. He is disruptive and explosive off the ball, stout at the point of attack, and surprisingly agile for his size. With nimble feet and superb quickness, Bruton can line up inside or slide outside to attack the edge.

Read EvaluationCole Dobbins | Prep Redzone Scout
Caden is a defensive tackle who has dual residency in opposing offenses’ backfields. He is violent and powerful at the point of attack with an explosive get-off and heavy hands into the chest of linemen. For a big fella, Caden also showcases some legit twitchiness, bend, and quickness when making plays around and behind the line of scrimmage. He possesses the skillset and athleticism of an outside linebacker, but with the size and strength of zero-tech defensive lineman. Caden has been straight up dominant this season, totaling 61 tackles, a ridiculous 33 TFLs, and 11.5 sacks. Watch out for the Dragons ‘ big man in the trenches tonight. He is sure to add to his offer from UTSA.
