D.I.T.R: Kaden McFadden

Kaden McFadden is a 5’11 185 pound athlete that plays both sides of the ball for the Pleasant Grove Hawks. McFadden is one of the most intriguing returning seniors for the team this upcoming season. On the offense, he is a speedy kid that is great in the open field. He is used in different packages that uses both his great hands and quickness to make big plays. On the other side of the ball, the Senior is basically position less because of the intensity he plays with. He has sideline to sideline speed to not only tackle the ball carrier but to hit them with bruising tackles. His recruiting has really picked up recently receiving offers after his junior season. After stopping his baseball career to focus on football, the prospect is in store for a huge senior season to help bring a state championship to the Pleasant Grove Hawks.
