About Caden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Fast top end speed. (4.51) A playmaker Extremely hard to tackle 1on1 Good ball carrier vision. Reaction timing. Ill always fight for extra yards. Follows blocks

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

Im normally easy going untill i step onto the field or court. Im always up for competitive talk. My mentality is definitely to outwork any and everybody i can to get to where i need to be.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Ive received an Arkadelphia Badger award for classroom and out of class behavior. Im going into FBLA and Black History Committee Club.

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

Arkadelphia has taught me alot when it comes to leadership and brotherhood. I have to set an example for those under me. Its also taught me getting better everyday wont feel good, but the ending will.

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

Sports wise not really, i just have to work hard to be where i need to be. God, family, friends and sports keep me in the right headspace with a goal to get too.

What type of college are you looking for?

Any college is a blessing. Education and a path to success. The path will not stop at college!
