Caiden leads with heart, hustle, and humility—always lifting his team up, on and off the field.
Thank you for generously supporting Caiden in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Caiden thrives on the challenge and the camaraderie. He loves the grind of practice, the thrill of competition, and how every game brings his team closer together.
Caiden is inspired by his grandpa, who showed him what it means to lead with quiet strength, and by his dad, who teaches him resilience and hustle every single day. Their example fuels how he plays—with heart, grit, and purpose.
Watching Caiden enter an environment where his skills weren’t yet known—and seeing him rise with humility, focus, and determination—made me so proud. He didn’t demand recognition; he earned it by showing up, staying true to himself, and becoming someone his team could count on.
