Expert Analysis

Rob Howe

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Drake did well in securing a commitment from Ubben. He enjoyed a fine junior season and got his senior campaign off to an impressive start in the season-opener at Liberty. The Cedar Falls defense suffocated an electric Lighting offense, and Ubben was a key reason why. Liberty loves to attack to the right with its option and misdirection. Ubben was having none of that, staying home and setting the edge on the left side of the Tiger defense. He’s technically sound, knowing when to pursue and when to hold the line. Ubben moves well laterally and is athletic. His frame is such that it can add good weight at the next level, giving Ubben a sizable ceiling.

Cedar Fall’s Jaden Ubben Jaden Ubben 6'4" | 220 lbs | DL/TE Cedar Falls | 2026 State IA was an impressive-looking athlete who caught my attention in this round of updates. Ubben is listed as a tight end and defensive end with the frame and athleticism to continue growing into either of those positions. The only thing that kept Jaden from making the rankings was that we didn’t have a ton of film on him. However, in the clips that we did see, Jaden gave us tons to look forward to with flashes of his playmaking ability. Just in the clip below against Waterloo West, you can see Jaden’s instincts and play recognition shine as he reads the screen and is able to make a play on the ball before taking it all the way back for a score. Expect Jaden to keep rising as he gets more opportunities.
