VYPE Spotlight | Cy Falls Edge and Texas A&M-Commit Kaden McCarty
Cy Falls edge rusher Kaden McCarty has earned a reputation as one of the premier defensive prospects in the state of Texas. A Texas A&M commitment, McCarty has been a relentless force for the Eagles, piling up more than 110 career tackles while establishing himself as one of the most feared defenders in the Greater Houston area.
Committed to Texas A&M, McCarty possesses the physical tools and football IQ to make an immediate impact at the next level, but first he has unfinished business in maroon and white. His goal is to leave a lasting legacy by helping return Cy Falls to the top of the district and into the playoff spotlight.
VYPE caught up with McCarty during the 2026 VYPE Football Media Day to discuss his commitment to Texas A&M, his evolution as a leader, the expectations for Cy Falls this season and the mindset that has made him one of the state's most dominant edge rushers.
