Caden Peddie brings rare power-and-toughness upside to Western Michigan’s offensive line
Peddie is a big-bodied interior lineman/center prospect whose calling card is raw strength, physicality, and durability traits that fit a run-first trench role; EA’s 2026 ratings give him a 58 overall with 79 strength, 71 impact blocking, and 96 stamina, while Western Michigan’s own recruiting note highlighted him as a team captain who also set a Michigan state bench-press record and played defense in high school. He looks like a development piece with genuine toughness and a high motor, but he is still more upside than finished product, so he fits best with a staff willing to coach technique and pad-level consistency.[2][3]
