State
NE
followed up a breakout freshman season with another stellar campaign in year two. Schlotfeld played on both sides of the field and was productive in each role with 82 carries, 480 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns, 130 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, a sack, three fumble recoveries, and two forced fumbles. Cayson has upside to play either RB or LB, but has really stood out with his LB play, where he is one of the top defensive “heat-seekers” in the state. One of Cayson’s biggest strengths is his ability to read and diagnose plays, allowing him to explode through his gaps and quickly close on the ball when he keys in on the run. Once he gets to the ball, Cayson is a lock to secure the stop using proper tackling form and good drive to knock his opponent back. Great lateral mobility helps him flow along the LOS and when in coverage. Cayson’s powerful, compact frame allows him to blow up blockers when charging and can use his hands to disengage. Schlofeld’s communication also stands out as he’s quick to call things out during pre-snap. The tape matches the production for Cayson… get after this guy asap!!
