is a playmaker who can score anytime he touches the ball. He has legit speed and moves to make defenders miss in space. He can be used in both the rushing attack and the passing game. As a runner, he hits the hole and shows good elusiveness. As a receiver, he is used as a slot receiver and an outside receiver. He is good at either position by running routes and catching the ball well. He can score by catching short passes and making bigger plays out of them. He can also score on deep passes thrown over the top. As a defender, he does a nice job in coverage coming upfield and making tackles in the open field. Lindsey is a dynamic player on either side of the ball.

Outside lane, slot capable wideout who bolstered his offensive production and trustworthiness. Lindsey has expanded on promising freshman and sophomore tape, specifically at DB. I’ve previously written that

is on the shortlist of 2025 DBs whose football IQ can be seen on tape. Awesome awareness of all things around him, especially when aligned at corner. Great understanding of leverage, can key when passing concepts are attempting to attack him vertically. Great flash to the flat, short stride yet can keep up with many great prospects who challenge him down the sideline. Petras and Lindsey are in similar situations in terms of projecting future recruitment status. Both fall beneath standard measurement thresholds for most D2s in PA, yet their production and tape are arguably better than some D2s getting looks out of the 2024 class this Winter. Lindsey is excelling in the classroom too, he’s a kid I’m willing to bet for rather than against.

Lindsey runs his routes with a good tempo and possesses strong receiving hands. On defense, he displays solid footwork in his backpedal along with man and zone coverage skills. He has the speed to catch and run, consistently finding the endzone as a WR. His ball skills are tremendous, tying the team leader and FBS commit, Jason Cross, with 6 interceptions in 2022. He’s competitive in coverage and is a willing tackler, consistently getting the job done. Jayden has the speed to run past DBs and the body control to adjust for passes, as seen in last year’s film. He’s elusive with the ball, often achieving big gains on short passes. His ability to gain YAC is especially evident on screens and short catch-and-run plays. Lindsey is quick off the line and rapidly gets vertical after the reception. His 336 receiving yards from last season are the most among any returning WR for Bishop Canevin.

One of the better producers on this list so far. Has separate offensive and defensive highlight tapes on Hudl
Fearless in terms of testing the ball in the air, as well as putting his head down to make tackles. Often around turnovers, high IQ and leverage use has him in the right place at the right time more often than not. Understandable option on offense, where his build isn’t exploited, yet I love the kid at DB. Top 25 ATH.
