Jaden Reddell emerges as another top 2024 recruit in Kansas City

Much has been written about the talented crop of junior prospects in the Kansas City area. The Class of 2023 features national recruits like Chandavian Bradley, Cayden Green and Adepoju Adebawore. But a lot of recruiters are just as high on the 2024 class, especially as more guys like Jaden Reddell start to emerge.

Jaden Reddell is a sophomore tight end from Raymore (Mo.) Raymore-Peculiar. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder put up big numbers for Ray-Pec this past season. He had 549 yards receiving and seven touchdown grabs. Reddell also averaged 26.1 yards a catch and even had a 29-yard rush for the 8-3 Panthers.

Numbers like that — along with quality video — are starting to attract recruiting attention. And that attention has turned into Jaden Reddell’s first scholarship offer.

Colorado State 1st offer for Jaden Reddell

Jaden Reddell said he was offered by Colorado State on Monday. The offer came from Rams assistant coach James Finley. It’s the first of what is expected to be quite a few offers, especially as recruiters continue to visit Ray-Pec to check in on On3 Consensus three-star receiver Jaidyn Doss.

Doss has more than a dozen offers already, and one Big 12 recruiter that focuses on Kansas City believes Reddell has the potential to be recruited on a national level.

It’s admittedly early in the recruiting process for Jaden Reddell. But he did take an unofficial visit in August to Missouri, and the Tigers are well aware of him. Others surely are, too, and Reddell plans to take the process as it comes.

“I really haven’t looked at many schools yet, so I don’t know what other schools I’m interested in,” he said. “But I’m focused on working hard to get even more offers.”

Reddell also had the potential to be recruited in baseball, but he said he’s given up that sport to focus on football. He also is a basketball player at Ray-Pec.
