#35 Caedmon Bontrager


Caed’s a guy who is relentless in both his game and his faith. He has a quiet spirit to him. I’m excited to see him develop, as he has already grown tremendously since coming to campus.

IN HIS OWN WORDS...

Why IWU...

I chose IWU because of the coaches and the IAM3 culture. I knew it would be the right place spiritually and that the coaches would push me on and off the court.

IAm3 is...

Putting others before yourself. God first, others second, I am third is not just a saying but a lifestyle.

Fearless is...

Fearless is not being afraid to step into the moment on the court and off. It is also being fearless for Christ and willing to share the gospel with the world.

The IWU coaching staff is...

A living embodiment of IAM3 and Fearless. They are not only very good basketball coaches but are true men of Christ that are willing to pour into each and every one of the players.
