Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Franco had a nice day on the interior keeping his hips square to the line of scrimmage and using his quick feet to mirror the defenders laterally. He wasn’t the biggest interior lineman at the camp but was still difficult to move and won a lot of reps during the one-on-one period.

Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Franco played mostly inside for Servite in 2023 which is very impressive for a first year prep player, and could find his home at either guard or tackle at the next level due to his frame and length/growth potential. He is another very athletic blocker that shows active feet at contact, gets immediate vertical push and plays with a low hat and wins with leverage and is a high effort guy. In pass protection, he does a nice job at using his length to shock defenders and gets in their chest while staying patient against speed rushers and is able to post against counters and creates a consistent pocket from the inside. Overall, Franco is a very athletic kid that has good upside at the next level due to his frame and length. It should not long until he collects his first offer.

is another offensive linemen headed to St. John Bosco and has the strength and explosion to hang with the best in southern California. He has tacked on a few inches and pounds, and is now up to 6’3 and 270-pounds. For a bigger offensive lineman, he moves and bends really well for his size. On the football field, Kaden moves well for a big man, especially in pass protection. With his hungry style of run blocking, Kaden is always working to create running lanes and keep his guys clean. I have written about Kaden before, and as I come back to him, he seems to be a gift that keeps on giving. The more I watch what he can do, the more I am impressed with what he can do. Kaden has incredible upside, and is going to continue to do great things as he climbs through the high school ranks.

Read EvaluationAlex Boyer | Prep Redzone Scout
Kaden is a big-time offensive lineman out of the recruiting goldmine state of California. Standing 6-foot-2 and 275-pounds, Kaden plays Left Tackle and is one of the better pass protectors coming out of this class. He plays with incredible patience in the pass protection game; once the defender gets close, he shoots his hands and latches on. In the run game, Kaden uses his size and strength to move his opponents and opens up run lanes for his running backs following him. Most importantly, Kaden plays with extreme effort; no matter what, he always works to make a block or protect the quarterback. He’s part of a scary trifecta of Offensive Linemen currently suiting up for La Habra Lions 14U, alongside fellow 2027 prospects
