Cain is going to be a major impact player in the 8 man landscape. He mans the not-often seen role combo of RB and DL where he produced over 1,000 rushing yards and 13 TDs with 86 tackles, 17 TFLs, and 2 sacks. Cain has the size of a future DL at the next level at 6’2″ 250 lbs. But you turn on the tape and you also see why they give him the ball on offense. The kid can scoot, especially for that immense size. He brings unfair physicality to the backfield and also shows off both of those traits on the DL. That combo of athleticism and violence have made him so impactful in the trenches. The numbers should be outstanding this fall and I won’t be surprised to see a lot of the D3 schools in WI wanting to add him to their recruiting class. Don’t miss out on this gem.

You don’t find many DT/RBs, but Clayton is home to 2027 Cain Casarez Cain Casarez 6'2" | 250 lbs | DL/RB Prairie Farm-Clayton | 2027 State WI who checks in at a towering 6’2″ 250 lbs. He brings elite two-way production with 131 carries, 1,016 rushing yards, 13 TDs, 86 tackles, 17 TFLs, and 2 sacks. For his size, Cain brings difference making athleticism to the field. You don’t expect to see a 250 lbs athlete pulling away in the open field, but Cain does it. The massive athlete also carries the ball with the power and tackle breaking acumen you would expect from a kid who towers over most defenders. That power looks so natural on the edge too as he quickly can get into the backfield, shed blocks, and make the tackle. Cain is proving to be a viable Swiss Army knife with a lot of potential when you try and project what he could be.

The season has come to an end for Cain and Clayton, but the junior OL/DL is a legitimate talent to know in the Class of 2027. DL looks like his future home. He is growing a serious frame that is loaded with explosive athleticism. Not only to shoot gaps, but also to get out in space and show off outstanding speed to chase down the ball. Coaches should love the violence he brings to his hand fighting too. The junior is strong, athletic, explosive, and still has an offseason of development ahead of him. Get the junior on campus for a gameday visit and camps next summer.
