*Senior stats: Lead blocker for a 9-3 team that averaged 300 yards rushing per game. Defensively, he recorded 30 tackles and 7.5 sacks.



Other Sports

Basketball: In 29 games, he averaged 11.0 points and 10.5 rebounds a game.



Baker Says

"I chose UNC because the school itself is one of the best in the country and then you mix that with what Mack brown is building there and there’s no way you can’t fall in love with the combination of the coaching staff facilities and the school.”



Mack Brown Says

"Southwest Florida player of the year nominee, all-district, all-Southwest Florida. He’s also a tremendous basketball player. He’s got a lot of athletic ability, but he’s tough, too. We think he’s going to be really big. His dad was a starting center for Coach (Bobby) Bowden at Florida State on some of those great teams. He can run and he'll hit you. And you love to have basketball players at those positions because of their athletic ability."



Deana King Says

"I believe Cayden is a steal of a prospect. He is such a talented big guy. With him being such a good basketball player that's a big plus for a lineman because he has great footwork and agility.”
