Ayden is a DB prospect that impressed me with his 2023 tape with the balance he shows off with his footwork. He also shows off to be a rangy cornerback that can provide assistance in the run game as his release shows a quick base of agility. I also like his presence getting from the 2nd to 1st level as he shows off his physicality on screens to drop the ball carrier backwards. Even with his 5’9 190 pound frame, Ayden’s gradual ball-tracking ability can slow down a bigger wide receiver which we see a bunch on tape. Ayden is a 2025 target college coaches should go outside the threshold for. Twitter

Ayden showed off developing change of direction from the reps I watched out in Jamestown last Sunday. I also liked his growth he showed off his instinctive change of direction from the later reps I watched at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. Ayden also backed up what I saw later with his testing numbers, as a  4.58 shuttle certainly helped evaluate his COD better. Ayden is a two-way prospect that is still developing his craft for the running back position, as the tape lines him mostly at linebacker however watching his long-stretched vision correlates to what Ayden brings to the table at tailback, as one to watch out of Bismarck from the 2025 class.
