Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Cayce had a decent sophomore season where he rotated in and made some big plays. He’s a bigger back who doesn’t go down easily. He’ll bounce off contact and fight for extra yardage. He’s got decent speed for his size and seems like he can help tire out a defense. His vision is good, and he sees the lane as it’s developing, so he’ll hit it full speed. He finished year 2 with 610 rushing yards and 7 TDs, but that was likely just the beginning for him. He’ll be the full-time starter next fall and could easily double those numbers.

Cayce is a taller back who has good power and runs behind his pads. He’s got decent speed as well, but is best in between the tackles. He’s able to stay consistent and seems like a guy who can wear down a defense. I like how he braces for contact and can bounce off some would-be tacklers. If he gets into the open field, he has the speed to house it, which he showed when he broke an 85-yarder this year. His 610 rushing yards and 7 TDs were just the start because you can expect his role to jump quite a bit in year 3.
