About Kaidan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My game is built on precise route running and disciplined footwork, which allows me to consistently create separation. I play with explosiveness off the line and out of breaks, making me a reliable target in any situation. I take pride in being a physical blocker, contributing to the run game as much as I do in the passing game

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I approach the game with focus, discipline, and a relentless drive to improve every day. I stay composed under pressure, embrace coaching, and push myself to be dependable in every situation. My mindset is team-first. I believe discipline, consistency, and preparation separate me from others, and I carry that same attitude in all aspects of life.

Kaidan is in a position to find a decent amount of playing time next season for Liberty. His work in the 7v7 scene has already been popping off this year, with wins at events and an impressive showing at the Pylon Indy event. He is growing into his frame well and will be able to play on both sides of the ball for the Patriots. I hope to see him live this upcoming year.

Schmelmer (614 ROC BOYZ 18u) got a writeup from Tyler Stevens on the defensive side of the ball, but he also caught my eye on the offensive side as well. Kaiden has good footwork and a nice release off the snap and does a great job of dropping his hips and being explosive in and out of his breaks to create separation.
