A TE With a Pedigree, Kade Bush Should Be Perfect Fit | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2026 WVU Football Roster.

The WVU football program completed the recruitment of tight end Kade Bush by signing him on December’s National Signing Day.

A Minnesota native, Bush (6-foot-4 and 220 pounds) initially committed to Arkansas in late May, but re-opened his commitment when the Razorbacks fired Sam Pittman.

Bush picked the Mountaineers over offers from fellow Big 12 program Kansas State, North Dakota State, Utah State, Washington State, Wyoming. He also visited Utah.

WVU sent him his offer just a couple weeks ago in early October.

He’s considered as one of the top 10 prospects in Minnesota by most major recruiting services.

81 • Kaden Bush, freshman tight end 

Last Year: Bush helped lead his high school team to the Minnesota AAAAA championship game.

Stats: In 2025, Bush rushed 36 times for 283 yards and two touchdowns. He caught a team-best 77 passes for 776 yards and six touchdowns.

Post-Camp Outlook: Bush seemed to fit in well and was heavily involved in the final scrimmage to cap off the spring period.

Projected Role: Like most true freshman, it’s possible Bush may end up redshirting in 2026.

Accolades, Highlights: Bush earned Star Tribune All-State, Minnesota Vikings All-State and North Talk All-State Team honors. As a senior, he helped lead Chanhassen to an 11-2 record and the Class AAAAA (second largest of Minnesota’s six classes) championship game.
