Rounding out the linebacker prospects making the initial Colorado 2028 Watchlist is Kaiden Vaughn Kaiden Vaughn 5'8" | 160 lbs | DB Heritage | 2028 State CO . He’s unofficially listed on social media at 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds, which means he is significantly smaller than the other three ‘backers on the list but that doesn’t mean he can’t play. As an Outside Linebacker, Vaughn flanks Hoffschneider on that vaunted Highlands Ranch PREP Mountain Lions defense this year. Also a talented baseball and basketball player, his overall athleticism allows him to get in a good position to make plays against the run or the pass. Vaughn could very well fall back to a strong safety or nickel type of player in the high school ranks, given his quickness and ability to tackle in the box.
