Early life

At New Trier High School, Kaskey played for the football and basketball teams. In 2014, New Trier reached the Class 8A state playoffs with an 8–1 record; Kaskey led the team as a captain and was named to the All-Chicagoland, all-conference, and all-area first-teams at the conclusion of the season. In addition to football, Kaskey also participated in track, lacrosse, and wrestling during his high school career.

College career

Kaskey attended Dartmouth, where he played offensive tackle for the football program for four years, beginning in 2015. In his freshman season, Kaskey played in eight games, starting one, mostly at left tackle. In Kaskey's sophomore season, he started eight games and was named an All-Ivy honorable mention for his work at left tackle, where he would play for the rest of his collegiate career. Kaskey started all ten games in his junior season, and was named to the All-Ivy League First-team. He was also chosen as the recipient of the team's Jake Crouthamel Award, which is awarded to the underclassman who contributes the most to the success of the team. In his senior season, in which he was named a captain, Kaskey started in all ten of the Big Green's games, leading an offensive line unit that allowed just seven sacks and powered a rushing attack which averaged 254 yards a game.

Kaskey graduated from Dartmouth with a degree in history.
