Cayden has slid down to the DL for his senior season and plays with complete reckless abandonment. He battles to win reps any way that he can. You will see him power/bull rush his way through OL and RBs on his way to getting pressure on the QB. That strength also stands out and he uses a push-pull move to get OL out of his rush path. Garcia also has already made excellent strides in developing his hand fighting moves despite the limited experience at DL. We saw the push-pull, rip, and swim moves. I am very excited about his future. He is athletic, strong, a quick learner when it comes to the technique. Cayden should be rising on the board of coaches.
