Kaden Helms

Hometown: Bellevue, NE

Height: 6-5

Weight: 222

Position: TE

School: Bellevue West High School

Ranking: No. 7-ranked tight end by SI All-American

Evaluation: Kaden Helms is a much-needed addition to a tight end/H-back room that will lose a ton of talent between Austin Stogner and Jeremiah Hall. Standing an impressive 6-foot-5, Helms will strike fear into opposing defensive coordinators for his ability to make plays downfield. A smooth athlete, Helms has incredible athletic upside, and Jeff Lebby will have no shortage of options to use him in the vertical passing game across the middle of the field.
