Cobbs has emerged as one of the most versatile players in the state. Offensively, he flashed his big-play ability with 4 rushing touchdowns against Arlington Martin, but he’s equally impactful on defense as a hybrid safety/linebacker who can cover ground and deliver hits. Already pledged to Illinois, Cobbs has the skill set that enables him to be a playmaker wherever he lines up.

Read EvaluationCole Dobbins | Prep Redzone Scout
A dog on both sides of the ball, Cobbs is a versatile and powerful playmaker as a linebacker and running back. Playing with a strong, lengthy frame, Cobbs possesses great body control and pad level on both sides. Kaedyn runs with great footwork and contact balance out of the backfield, toting the rock with pristine vision and intentional cuts. Defensively, he is a Swiss Army knife that has the ability to explode off the edge, play the box, or even drop back in coverage. After over 100 rushing yards and 3 tackles last week, the Illinois commit will be key for the Lions on both sides of this battle.

Cobbs is the definition of a game-changer. Whether he’s flying downhill from the secondary, locking up slot receivers, or delivering punishment out of the backfield, he impacts the game in every phase. A true two-way star with speed, power, and a high football IQ, Cobbs is Guyer’s heart and soul.

Read EvaluationMarcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Cobbs’ standout performance at the Select 50 Showcase, where he earned the linebacker MVP title, highlights his exceptional talent and versatility on the field. As a hybrid defender, he possesses the ability to excel in all three linebacker positions, showcasing his adaptability and football IQ. His natural instincts and nose for the football make him a formidable presence on defense, while his excellent short-area quickness allows him to react swiftly to plays and make impactful tackles. He saw action as a freshman starter for Guyer in 2023 at safety, where he demonstrated his ability to close gaps effectively and deliver punishing tackles. His athleticism and speed also make him a valuable asset in coverage, allowing him to patrol the backend of the defense with confidence.
Additionally, Cobbs’ involvement on offense as a running back further illustrates his versatility and all-around skill set. As a powerful runner with quick feet, good vision, and a stout build, he possesses the knack for breaking tackles and the speed to break away for long runs. With his ability to contribute on both sides of the ball, it’s no surprise that he’s expected to receive more offensive touches in the upcoming 2024 season. Cobbs has offers from UTSA and Buffalo, which is just the beginning as he will see his profile rise as he heads into the fall season.
