Freshman safety Cade Wallace brings SFA depth and Texas toughness
In the 2026 season, Cade Wallace is a freshman safety at Stephen F. Austin who profiles as a developmental defensive back with a solid 5'11”, 182-pound frame and active-status roster spot for the Lumberjacks.[1][2] His value is in upside more than volume right now: he arrives from South Grand Prairie in Grand Prairie, Texas, and the recruiting trail shows SFA beat out multiple programs to land him, which hints at a player with enough range, athleticism, and coachable upside to keep building.[2][3] He looks like a fit for a team that wants young depth in the secondary and doesn’t mind waiting for the payoff.
