Army freshman safety Kayden Soares brings developmental upside and elite high-school pedigree
Kayden Soares is a 2026 Army freshman safety with a compact frame (5-9, 182) and a clean profile: Army lists him as active, but he has no college statistics yet, so the intrigue is all about projection. He arrives with strong prep credibility from Choate Rosemary Hall and a background that suggests discipline, range, and ball skills, making him a fit for a defense that values reliability and attention to detail. If you want an immediate stat-sheet star, he’s not that yet; if you want a smart, ascending safety with room to grow in Army’s system, he’s worth your eyeballs.
