Jaden Gaines brings veteran depth and edge-setting power to Chattanooga’s front
In the 2024 season, Chattanooga DE Jaden Gaines appeared in 10 games as a reserve and logged 7 tackles with a half-sack at Tennessee, showing the kind of rotational production that helps a defense stay fresh. He also arrives with a sturdy frame at 6-foot-4, 256 pounds and prior FBS experience from Eastern Michigan, which gives him a ready-made baseline of strength and game reps. The fit looks solid for a team that values effort, depth, and a player who can chase the quarterback without needing the spotlight.
