Ayden is a bigger than average 8th grade running back who brings a physical edge to the position as he heads into his freshman year. With a ferocious, downhill running style, he thrives on contact, charging through the trenches with aggression and consistently fighting for extra yards. His strong frame allows him to shake off would be tacklers and turn routine dives into chain moving plays.

While he’s a power back at heart, Ayden also has the awareness and athleticism to bounce runs outside when lanes close up. As he develops, it’ll be exciting to see him get more opportunities in open space, where his size-speed combo can really shine. Set to join DePaul, he’ll look to carry on the program’s tradition of tough, productive backs.
