About Blayden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I like to just go out there and play, keep a cool head and focus on the next play

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am mentally tough and can stay calm in high pressure moments

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Leadership, accountability, and I will always pick my teammates up mentally and physically.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

3 different coaches for 3 different years but I learn to adapt to the new playbooks and atmosphere quickly

Cassel goes 6’4″ and 235 pounds.  Can split the defense up the seam.  Pushes vertical as a pass catcher with a smooth get off the line.  Strong frame and is a physical runner with the ball in his hands.  Safety blanket for his QB who will come back when the play breaks down. Tracks it well and high points the ball in the air downfield.
