What his coaches say:
I have the privilege to coach Caden this summer at PDX FC and he is a game changer, one dedicated player that will not back down from a dog fight. He is coachable, and stands his own ground against our D1, and pro players… his work ethic has shown he can keep up with the big boys. I see a great pro soccer future in him if he is coached right, and in good hands in his College development.
Bryan Garay, PDX FC Assistant Coach
Former player and coach, Nicaraguan National Team
I have played Caden as both a midfielder as a 6, 8 or 10 and offensively as a 7, 9 and 11. At each of these positions, Caden is consistently the best player on the field. As a midfield player, Caden dices defenses with pinpoint passing to break lines. His ability to weight a pass in behind defenses is amazing. Defensively, he is a ball winner with a quick mind to find the outlet and keep possession. As a forward or winger, Caden has that special talent to score goals (which also serves him well in midfield). I can’t tell where Caden likes to play to most. I ask him to play a position and accomplish certain tactical issues and he goes and does it. It is truly a joy to coach a player like this.
Coach Glenn Rogers, Eastside Timbers FC (view full testimonial)
Wherever we needed strength, we put Caden into the role we needed… he played every position in the spine.. from striker to the number 10 to the number 6… He is a tenacious battler of a player, but also technically so sound and so skilled and sees the field in ways that other people don’t. And he’s a really strong finisher.
Coach Ty Kovatch, Franklin High School (view full testimonial)
He’s tough as nails… the type of player you wish you had three or four of. It’s always good for a team when your most skilled player is also the hardest working, and Caden consistently gives us that element.
Coach Jose Milian, Franklin High School
Caden’s biggest attribute is his heart. He loves to compete and never gives less than 110% every minute… Caden is a true leader and has served as our team captain. He leads our team not only through his words but actions… As the game continues to change, he adapts to the situation to accomplish the team’s objective.
