Big statement season from Dragon’s frosh Cayson Schlotfeld Cayson Schlotfeld 5'9" | 220 lbs | LB/RB Gretna | 2028 State NE who led the defense in total stops last fall. Cayson ended his freshman campaign with 76 tackles, six TFLs, two fumble recoveries, and a forced fumble. Schlotfeld was brilliant at defending the run last season, whether he was at middle linebacker or defensive tackle, Cayson always found ways to successfully fit the opposing run game and penetrate the backfield to limit big runs. As only a freshman, Cayson was already flashing the instincts and IQ that you like to see from your linebackers, especially with his willingness to talk and communicate with his fellow defenders to call out the offense. He’s very patient as he analyzes the play and is very sharp when breaking on the ball. Schlotfeld’s wrestling background shines on the gridiron with an excellent understanding of leverage and hand usage to disengage from blocks. Good lateral mobility allows him to cover from sideline to sideline and beat RBs to the edge. Cayson isn’t the biggest linebacker on the field, but at 5’9″, 220 pounds, he can sure lay some mean hits when he gets to the ball carrier. Watch out for Schlotfeld on the offensive side of the ball, too, where he’s as punishing of a fullback as you’ll find in the state. Very impressive football mind and skill set at such a young age… going to be a stock riser!
