Franklin’s numbers show just how active he has been around the football, with 53 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, four quarterback pressures and a forced fumble. What stands out to me is the 53 tackles from a defensive lineman—that tells you he isn’t just taking up space up front, he’s finding the ball and finishing plays. Franklin can make stops behind the line, get some push toward the quarterback and create opportunities for turnovers. He’s putting together a well-rounded season up front, and there’s still time for him to add even more to those numbers.

Kaeden is a high-impact defensive lineman who consistently shows up all over the field, finishing with 113 total tackles, 23 TFLs, 7 sacks, 6 QB pressures, 3 forced fumbles, 1 interception, 2 pass deflections, and 1 fumble recovery. On film, he stands out as a true playmaker up front who combines effort, awareness, and relentless pursuit of the football.

Against the run, Kaeden is extremely active and productive, showing the ability to diagnose plays quickly and attack downhill with urgency. His 23 TFLs reflect how often he gets into the backfield, shoots gaps, and disrupts timing before plays can develop. He doesn’t just react he initiates contact and forces offenses into negative situations early.

As a pass rusher, he brings steady pressure with effort, timing, and persistence. His 7 sacks and QB pressures show he can affect the quarterback both as a finisher and as a disruptor. What really separates him is his awareness his interception, pass deflections, and forced fumbles show rare instincts for a defensive lineman, especially in reading throws and reacting to the football in space.
