Austin Young: Southeast Polk's Powerhouse Running Back
Austin Young's 1,200 rushing yards as a sophomore last season left no doubt about his dominance on the gridiron. The Southeast Polk Rams' Class of 2027 running back averaged 7.5 yards per carry, showcasing his exceptional speed and elusiveness. Young's impressive performance earned him the distinction of being the first player from the program to receive a Power 4 offer, a testament to his hard work and dedication. As a junior, Young will look to build on his success and lead the Rams to a successful season in the 4A classification. Scouts are eager to see how Young adapts to increased defensive attention and whether he can maintain his high level of production. Specifically, they will be watching to see if Young can improve his pass-catching skills and become a more well-rounded threat out of the backfield.
