Kaden has been putting together great tape as the season went on. It culminates with an impressive Week 9. There is so much to like about Kaden, and want on your team at the next level. He looks the part at 6’4″ 280 lbs, and he moves with the ease, power, and fluidity that separates the top talent from the rest. You see consistent technique from his feet to his hand placement when he lands that powerful punch. The big man also brings that nasty streak that you need in the trenches. He is someone who will look to put his man in the ground, and does it with sound technique. Kaden already holds a strong ranking, but we may see that continue to climb. I’m excited to see him in the playoffs.

This was my second time seeing Kaden in person. The first being Week One of the 2022 season. The 6’3″ 276 lbs OL has made strides since my first look. His performance earned him his first offer from the SMSU Mustangs. The ’24 OT is one of the more technically sound prospects I have seen this summer. Kaden did a great job in person, and on tape, of keeping his base wide where he was able to maximize his strength. His hand placement is just as consistently solid. He keeps his elbows in and lands his strikes consistently and accurately. Check out the under the radar prospect.

The Class of 2024 OL group is off the charts good. It won’t be easy breaking into it, but the 6’4″ 270 lbs OT out of McFarland has a legitimate shot at the Top 15 of the OL. Kaden’s technique and footwork jump off the tape. He maintains a wide base, you never see his heels clicking, and that has led to his power always being at it’s peak. The big man also moves smoothly on that wide base. His lateral agility allows him to mirror edge rushers, and his long arms gets him the initial contact. Don’t overlook the standout junior OL.

Kaden was another lineman I wanted to get eyes on. He is currently in our Watch List due to no film to watch, but I came away impressed and intrigued for the big man’s future. The 6’4″ 260 lbs RT/DL looked comfortable at OT, bu the looked best at DL where he could use his athleticism and power to collapse the edge and wreck havoc in the backfield. He is only a junior, so we are going to get plenty of looks at him at both positions. I think he can play either side of the line at he  next level.
