As a junior, my primary focus is to maintain my high GPA and make sure all of my academic requirements are being fulfilled. School comes first and once the work is done I focus on my kicking and punting.
Kicking footballs is a year-round activity for me. I attend Chris Sailer Kicking camps for both instruction and ranking and I have private lessons with former Detroit Lions kicker Eddie Murray. I attended several kicking camps this year to work on improving my skills and to compete. I train as an athlete and attend off-season weight room sessions as well as plyometric workouts that are part of the football program at my school.
Currently a 4.5 star ranked kicker and punter by Chris Sailer. Kicker and punter rankings available at chrissailerkicking.com - Class of 2016.
"Kaden is an excellent kicker. A good looking athlete with one of the strongest legs in the nation. He has shown great improvement from camp to camp. Solid on field goals off the ground. Kickoffs are a real strength. Also coming along very nice as a punter. Has a bright future with continued hard work. Kaden has a great attitude and work ethic. Excellent overall K/P prospect." - Chris Sailer
