Wake Forest edge Cade Holles brings length, production, and winning pedigree
In the 2025 season, Cade Holles emerged as a high-upside EDGE prospect from Cherry Creek, listed around 6-foot-6 and 240-255 pounds, with a breakout senior year that included 88 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and a sack, plus a 51-4 varsity run and a 5A state title in 2024. He’s the kind of long, physical, high-motor defender who fits Wake Forest’s front because he already flashes production, versatility, and big-game experience. Recruiting services also tagged him as one of Colorado’s top defensive linemen, which is a strong hint the Deacs are betting on traits that translate fast.
