Gretna East trench warrior Caden Boyer Caden Boyer 6'2" | 260 lbs | DL/OL Gretna East | 2027 State NE jumps up several spots after a string of successful camp sessions this offseason. Caden has upside on both offense and defense, but projects best on the defensive line, where he can consistently disrupt opposing offenses with his intense motor. As a junior, Caden recorded 18 tackles, a TFL, a sack, and a forced fumble, but had an impact on the field that went deeper than the stat sheet. Boyer does a great job eating up space on the DL as he possesses a powerful base, uses his leverage very well, and has the ability to plug up double gaps. I was also impressed with Caden’s versatility: he can line up directly over the center, put him over the A gap, or even line him up against a tackle. He attacks with violent hands at the point of contact and knows how to use them to disengage from blockers. Great closing speed to get after the ball carrier. Offensively, Caden is a nasty finisher who is constantly looking to end with pancake blocks. His lateral quickness makes him very effective on pull blocks and when climbing to the second level to seal off LBs. Caden has earned offers from Northern State, Nebraska-Kearney, Southeast Missouri State, Wayne State, and Southwest Minnesota State. Baller in the trenches who is heating up quickly!

Caden Boyer Caden Boyer 6'2" | 260 lbs | DL/OL Gretna East | 2027 State NE had a great freshman season as the anchor of the Gretna East OL and is one of two Griffin blockers in the top 20. When watching Caden’s freshman tape, I really liked seeing the physicality he plays with and the aggressive mindset he brings to the field. Even against bigger nose tackles, Caden can win at the line of scrimmage with his great use of leverage and effective hand placement. He is a very strong player, especially in his base, where he is able to drive defenders off their spot and can generate a lot of explosiveness from his hips. Boyer is mobile and athletic enough to get up to the second level to kick out linebackers. Plays through the whistle. The trench Griffs will be a unit to watch out for next season.
