Collegiate tight end Caden Prieskorn and his wife, TikTok personality Cali Prieskornthey navigate a long-distance marriage while training for the 2025 NFL draft.
Caden, 25, just finished his senior year playing football at the University of Mississippi. In many of his performances, he was supported by his wife Cali, also 25 years old, and their two children. They share son Mac, 3, and daughter Romy, 8 months. (The Mac previously went viral on TikTok for making “lucky [fist] bumps” with Ole Miss players before each game.)
Cali, however, chose not to leave Mississippi with the children permanently, instead deciding to go see Caden on the weekends.
“My husband just finished his last year of college and football and he just moved to Nashville to train for the NFL draft,” Cali said in a Friday, January 10, TikTok video. “I decided to come back with the kids because Mac still has school, but we try to go to Nashville every weekend.”

He added, “Honestly, I’m very happy with his training in Nashville. Lots to do and great restaurants. This weekend will be a lot of fun, but it will be good to spend time as a family.”
In another video posted earlier this month, Cali revealed that Caden’s training will last about three months.
“I’m so happy that he continued to pursue his dreams,” she said in the TikTok clip. “He will be slow because he has been invited to the Shrine Bowl [in Dallas]. He worked hard, so I’m glad he’s getting that chance. I’ll take the kids down to Dallas, too, and then he’ll go back to Nashville for training.”
The NFL draft is held every year in April, which is when Caden will learn that a football team has decided to sign him to the 53-man roster. In her second video, Cali reiterated why she doesn’t plan on uprooting her family to follow and stay close to her husband.
“Mac is in school and I really like his school,” she said. “I think it is important that they have that framework. I will divide my time between the two [places.] I will be in Oxford, [Mississippi] during the week when Mac is at school.”
Some NFL players are well known for their lives off the field. Three-time Super Bowl champion and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for example, has been in the news for his family since being drafted in 2017. Mahomes began dating his wife, Brittany Mahomes, in high school. Although they ended up attending different colleges, […]
Cali added that she was still “trying to figure out how to balance” being a single parent while Caden was out of work.
“I don’t think it will be easy,” added the organizer. “College football was a lot of fun. I’m honestly very excited to see where we’re going and what we’ll be doing. I feel like this is such a big step in life [and] I’m really excited to see what happens.”
