Athletic, ascending NC State corner with multi-sport roots
Caden Gordon is a young NC State CB who brings real twitch and upside; the Wolfpack listed him at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, and he arrived after a high school career that included a move from wide receiver to cornerback, which usually means ball skills and comfort playing in space. NC State’s own bio notes he finished his senior year with 12 tackles and 2 interceptions, while recruiting coverage labeled him a 3-star defender and praised his athleticism. For a team, he looks like a developmental fit with length, upside, and a competitive edge rather than a finished product.
