Lakeville North's Cade Young Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Lakeville North's Cade Young recorded 12 tackles for loss in 2025, showcasing his dominant pass-rushing skills. The 6-foot-2 linebacker's impressive performance caught the attention of college scouts, making him the first Panther to earn a Power 4 offer. Young's offer from Ohio State marks a significant milestone for the Lakeville North program, which competes in the 6A classification within the Minnesota State High School League. As a rising junior, Young is expected to play a key role in the Panthers' defense. He has been participating in summer camps and training sessions to refine his skills and prepare for the upcoming season. With his offer from a top-ranked program, Young is now a top target for college recruiters, particularly those from the Power 5 conferences. Scouts are watching to see how Young adapts to increased attention and how he performs in game situations, particularly in pass coverage and against the run.
