Kaden Haeckel brings rare size and ready-made build to Idaho's O-line
Kaden Haeckel is a 6-foot-5, 309-pound junior offensive lineman for Idaho in the 2026 season, and that frame alone makes him worth watching in the trench wars. The big appeal is straightforward: he has the mass, length, and power profile coaches covet in a developmental OL, plus he’s already on the active roster and positioned for meaningful reps. The sneaky-good part? His NIL profile calls him a “very big family guy,” which hints at a grounded, team-first fit for a physical program. If your team wants a sturdy interior/edge blocker with upside, he’s a legit fit.
