Kaden Saunders Ready to Shine at Wide Receiver for Penn State

November 12, 2021
Kaden Saunders transitioned from baseball to become one of the top wide receivers in the 2022 class before committing to Penn State.

Kaden Saunders evolved from a heralded baseball prospect into one of the nation's premier wide receivers at Westerville South High School in Ohio. Despite his smaller stature, his exceptional speed and precise route-running pose constant problems for opposing defenses.

Saunders learned discipline from his father, who served in the Army for 22 years, translating that work ethic to both athletics and academics. He committed to Penn State, where his explosive playmaking ability projects to make an immediate impact in the Big Ten.
