Navy’s Caden Hooper is a developmental tackle with prototype size and raw power
Caden Hooper enters as a depth piece at **left tackle** for Navy and, based on the available roster and prospect data, is a **developmental lineman** rather than a proven varsity contributor yet[1][3]. He brings a strong frame at **6'4", 280 pounds** with notable power indicators — including a **365-pound bench press** and **20 reps at 185 pounds** — which suggests the kind of functional strength Navy values in its run-heavy system[3]. He did not see varsity action in 2023, so the main appeal is his upside, size, and strength profile rather than current game production[1].
