Cade Caruso brings low-center-of-gravity toughness and tackle production to St. Thomas
Caruso is a compact, physical linebacker whose best calling card is production: in his high school senior season at St. Thomas Academy, he led the team with 84 total tackles and helped push the Cadets to the 2023 Minnesota AAAAA title game, and St. Thomas lists him as a junior linebacker who was redshirted to preserve eligibility.[1][3] At 5-foot-7, 208 pounds, he stands out less for measurables than for leverage, effort, and reliability in the middle of the defense—traits that make him a fit for a team wanting an active, hard-nosed run stopper and special-teams tone-setter.[1]
