Cayden Parker Cayden Parker 6'3" | 225 lbs | EDGE Seneca Valley | 2026 State PA is a good athlete who has a great combination of size, strength, and athleticism. He played primarily as an edge defender where he dominated. Because he is such a good athlete he is hard for offensive tackles to block one-on-one. Then he shows elite skills as a pass rusher. His rip and bend as an edge defender is excellent. Parker also played some running back and he showed a physical running style that is hard to bring down. Parker is a talented player who recently picked up an offer from James Madison. He has a good chance at playing College Football in the future.

Great to see an evaluation hit.

Cayden Parker Cayden Parker 6'3" | 225 lbs | EDGE Seneca Valley | 2026 State PA has burst onto the FBS scene this past March, we spoke about Parker and relayed his thoughts after securing his first FBS offer out of Miami of Ohio. Ranked just outside the top 100 prior to that announcement, Parker is probably deserving of a bit of a bump. After speaking with Coach Ross Watson, Cayden Parker Cayden Parker 6'3" | 225 lbs | EDGE Seneca Valley | 2026 State PA announced yet another FBS scholarship opportunity, this time out of another MAC school in Toledo. Ceiling could be beyond the G5 level, yet I imagine Parker ends up with 5-7 MAC offers before his senior year, he’s a clear target among those circles. Will likely see a rise on our ranks.

Cayden Parker Cayden Parker 6'3" | 225 lbs | EDGE Seneca Valley | 2026 State PA is a good athlete who played as a defensive end and as a tight end. At defensive end, he shows off his athleticism by attacking offensive lineman. He has a great burst off the line of scrimmage. Once he gets into the backfield, he can use his athleticism and his strength to create chaos against the offense. He also showed a motor that never stops by chasing plays all over the field. At tight end, he ran good routes and caught the ball well. Seneca Valley used him in motion a ton to throw him the ball or block. Parker is a talented player on both sides of the ball.

Cayden Parker Cayden Parker 6'3" | 225 lbs | EDGE Seneca Valley | 2026 State PA narrowly missed placing as a Top100 prospect back in January. He’s going to receive a bump.

Here’s what the versatile athlete had to say about his moment with Coach Martin.

I talked to the Head Coach Chuck Martin. The conversation was pretty short and to the point but I really liked the whole coaching staff especially the Head Coach. Really loved their beliefs and winning traditions and how coach Martin had turned the program around for the better. I’m excited to get started with the recruiting process and happy that it started off this way with a great school. I really liked the campus and facilities that Miami Ohio had to offer. Truly blessed, grateful and excited to have received my first Division One offer from a great school.

The young man has a great approach to all things recruiting, excited for his future.
