Young Puma Blocks His Way to the Top
Wise Pumas' Jayden Young, a transfer from out-of-state, earned a starting role on the offensive line in his first season. In 2025, he helped pave the way for the Pumas' 4A team, which finished with a 7-3 record in the MPSSAA. Young's impressive blocking skills were on full display, as he graded out at 92% in the second half of games, according to team statistics. The Class of 2027 lineman's ability to adapt to the Pumas' system quickly has drawn attention from college scouts. Young's transfer from a MPSSAA 5A school in Texas has also given him a unique perspective on the game, which he believes has helped him become a more well-rounded player. As the Pumas prepare for the upcoming season, Young will look to build on his impressive debut and continue to anchor the team's offense. Scouts are watching for Young's ability to maintain his high level of performance and adjust to the challenges of a new season.
