Pine High School (Franklinton, LA) OLB Cadyn Stogner has committed to play in the 2025 Gridiron Football All-American Bowl Game, which will be held at Louisiana Christian University on Tuesday, December 30th.
Playing on the edge of the Pine Raiders defense, Stogner has been a force to be reckoned with during his prep career. At 6’2, 200 pounds, the Raiders outside linebacker has been one of the key reasons for a consistent three year run for Bradley Seal’s squad making the playoffs during that time period including back to back Quarterfinal appearances.
Whether it is making plays in the running game or rushing the passer, Stogner can do it all. Not only is Stogner a versatile linebacker, but every time he tackles a ball carrier, he makes sure to put his stamp on it. His play has not gone unnoticed as the Raiders’ three year starter has made All-District every single year he has started for Pine High School.
“Over the years, there has been a debate about who the best receiver is, who the best offensive lineman is, but here, there is no debate. Cadyn is the best outside linebacker I’ve ever coached. I would say he is an example to our younger guys because when he was a sophomore and started, he was a great pass rusher, but then the last two years, he has learned his craft. He is not just a pass rusher anymore. He can’t play the run any better than he does now. Sometimes, players want to do one thing at a position, but he does everything. He is a leader on the defense and I am so proud of him.”

After a junior campaign in which Stogner had nearly 90 tackles and six sacks, he built off that great year with his best year yet by making 1st Team All-District and All-State honorable mention. His senior year was highlighted by a Gridiron Football Player of the Week performance back in Week 2 of the season when he posted 14 tackles, two sacks, and a safety in a 44-19 victory over Independence.
Stogner joins former Pine WR/S DJ Garrett, who is now at Kilgore College, as the second Raider to be named Gridiron Football Player of the Week. Like Garrett, Cadyn Stogner will get the opportunity to showcase his talents at the 2025 Gridiron Football All-American Bowl Game. Although Stogner has not received an offer just yet, he feels like this will be a great opportunity to get that offer with a great performance.
“It’s awesome! I don’t have too many interests right now to play from colleges, but going to play in the Gridiron Football All-American Bowl Game will help out a lot. It is also another game to play with some of my teammates as well.”
