Early Signing Day: Michigan Football signs future center Kaden Strayhorn!!
Kayden Strahorn has an impressive offer sheet and committed to Michigan back in June. The IMG Academy center visited Ohio State and has family ties to Michigan State, but ultimately the Wolverines prevailed. Strayhorn is seen as Michigan’s future center, even though it might take a few seasons. He signed with the Wolverines to formally make it official.
An inside offensive line prospect with exceptional technical skills who might end up snapping the football on Saturdays. Though under six feet three, he is thought to weigh little more than 285 pounds and should only gain more muscle in the years to come. His upper and bottom parts usually sing the same song, therefore he plays with a favorable pad level for his age and will usually win by simply getting leverage on opponents. As a senior in an IMG Academy program renowned for its o-line development, he was mostly used at right tackle.
Though he should do better in pass sets when he is not forced to cover a lot of grass, he had his moments protecting the corner. Based on what he has recorded over the years, he is projected as a possible multi-year starter at the Power Four level. With his instincts and aggression, Ceiling might be the center.
