HUDL Highlights Senior Mid-Season
HDUL Highlights Junior Season
LSC Scoop - Cade, what an outstanding senior season, both individually and as a team. What will you remember most from last year?
It was a very fun and exciting season
for sure. I'll probably remember beating Boerne
Champion and Alamo Heights to go undefeated and win the district most, but
also all the fun we had in the locker room and
at practice as a team.
Q - You ended your high school career with team records in passing yards (8,300) and TDs (93). How does it feel to see your name at the top of Tivy's record books? Did surpassing Heisman Trophy winning Johnny Manziel make it even bigger?
To have my name next to Johnny's is really a blessing and I couldn't have done it
without my whole team. Individual
records are an indication that the team was having
success. I know that records are made to
be broken so I’ll be rooting for the next guy
knowing that TFND (Tivy Fight Never Dies) is going strong.
Q - Tell us a little bit about recruiting. When did colleges start coming around? Was it ever a distraction? Who were the schools recruiting you?
Colleges started
coming to watch me throw during my
Junior year and asked me what my future plans were but nothing really
serious. If anything it made me better,
but I never let it get to my head. Kingsville, UTSA, UIW,
Midwestern, Angelo, and Commerce were all recruiting me.
Q - You recently committed to Texas A&M-Kingsville. What
factors led to that decision? Did the fact that
your father (former NFL tight end Mike Dyal) played at Texas A&I have a big influence?
I really liked the whole coaching staff
and the history of the program. It helped
that my father went there, because I knew the school pretty well
and had been to a few games and liked what was going on there. I
think that with the recruiting class coming in and the current
players we can win a bunch of ball games.
Q - How big of a role do academics play in your decision? Have you decided on a major?
Academics played a
big part in my decision. My mother is always on to me
about my grades so choosing a school with a
history of great academics was definitely a priority for me.
I plan to major in architectural engineering with a minor in
business.
Q - Who are your role models, or the people that have helped you get where you are today?
My father is
definitely my biggest role model, not because he
played in the NFL but because he is the man that I want to be
like when I get older. He loves to help people, he
will do anything for anyone, he works harder than anyone I
know. He loves the Lord, and he makes me be the best I
can be.
Q - Any advice for guys that will be going through this process in the next year or two?
My advice would be to stay confident in your
skills. If you are good, someone will find out. And try to get into
contact with a lot of different schools, that way if something happens
and one school stops recruiting you, you'll have more
options. Really just have fun while you're playing and then worry about
the recruiting later.
Q - What teammates do you think have the ability to play at the collegiate level? Are they being recruited?
I
think quite a few of the guys on my team could
play at the next level. We had playmakers at every position. Recruiters need to figure out how to measure
a guys heart and not just rely on their
physical attributes. Too many guys get
overlooked because someone deems them to be undersized. The only ones that I know of
that are being recruited are
Wyatt Trahan (RB), Hutch White (WR), Ian Ronan (WR), Carson McCoy
(WR), and Jessy Denais (LB). Wyatt recently committed to
Augustana University in Souix Falls, South Dakota.
Thank you Cade, best of luck
