Eagle Eye: Cade Young's Academic-Athletic Balance
Catholic Memorial's safety Cade Young recorded 8 interceptions in 2024, leading the team in takeaways. The Div I standout's impressive defensive play earned him All-Conference honors. But what's equally impressive is Young's ability to balance his on-field duties with a 4.0 GPA. The Class of 2025 senior has been a varsity starter since his sophomore year, and his academic prowess has caught the attention of college scouts. Young's dedication to his studies is a testament to his strong work ethic and discipline, traits that will serve him well on the gridiron. As he heads into his final season, Young will look to build on his defensive success and maintain his academic excellence. Scouts will be watching to see how he adapts to more complex defensive schemes and whether he can continue to excel in the classroom while shouldering a heavier workload on the field.
