Caden Kock is Iowa State’s sturdy, local DB with momentum
In the 2025 season, Caden Kock entered as a redshirt junior defensive back at Iowa State at 6-0, 220, and he’s already shown active-game value with tackles in the box-score while building on a 2024 season that included 9 appearances and 2 total tackles. He stands out more for size, reliability, and special-teams grit than splash plays so far, and the in-state Carroll product brings a strong workmanlike vibe rather than flash. If a team wants a physical, assignment-sound, depth-building defensive back who can help on special teams and grow into more, he’s worth a look.
