Up and down both coasts and everywhere in between, Cayden Jones ’24 has made a name for himself.
It would be difficult to put a number on what he means to Christ School football. In times of need, Cayden even played some quarterback and receiver for the Greenies in 2021.
But his abilities as an outside linebacker are what have put Cayden on the map, nationally. ESPN released its Top-300 Rankings for the Class of 2024 on Wednesday and Cayden is slotted in at No. 75.
Cayden is an Under Armour All-American who made a team-high 77 tackles (five for a loss) last season, to go along with three sacks and equally as many forced fumbles.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound rising junior from Asheville has not yet made a college commitment. His list of scholarship offers is lengthy, but includes in alphabetical order – Charlotte, Duke, East Carolina, Kentucky, Liberty, Louisville, Michigan State, Mississippi, N.C. State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Southern Cal, Syracuse, Tennessee, Virginia, and Virginia Tech.
The 2022 season opener for Cayden and the Greenies is Aug. 19 at home against Charlotte Latin.
