It’s hard to find many defensive backs who play with a linebacker’s mentality, which is the case with Creighton Prep’s

. Jayden is one of the few select Prep players who were moved up to varsity as freshmen where he gave us glimpses of the high-level player he can be. The thing that stands out the most about Jayden is his physicality and aggressiveness. Jayden displays great instincts when reading his keys and flashes a quick break on the ball with solid closing speed. Once Jayden gets to the ball, he’s proven to be a secure tackler who uses great technique and has the power to drive ball carriers back. Along with getting downhill quickly, Jayden also showed good sideline-to-sideline range. Jayden flashes good hands and is aggressive when the ball is in the air, always looking to make a play on it himself. Good nose for the ball— 4 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, and 2 blocked kicks. Watching Jayden’s tape, I was reminded of another high-flying DB who just graduated from Creighton Prep… very good company to be with.
