What They're Saying - Safeties Coach Kenneth Gilstrap
“Jaeden is a true ball hawk and, anytime you watch him, you’ll see him scoring touchdowns, whether it’s on offense or defense. His speed is something that helps to separate him; he finished first in the state in the 110m hurdles last year. Having a ball hawk back there is very important as we focus on getting the ball back for our defense.”
