Bearcats' Young Aims High on and Off Field
Kearney Bearcats quarterback Caleb Young finished last season with a 65.2% completion rate, tossing 22 touchdowns to just 8 interceptions in the NSAA Class B. But what's just as impressive as Young's on-field numbers is his academic prowess. The Class of 2027 signal-caller maintains a 4.0 GPA, making him a standout in the classroom as well as on the field. Young's ability to balance the demands of varsity football with rigorous academic coursework has caught the attention of college scouts, who are eager to see how he adapts to the next level. As the Bearcats prepare for their upcoming season, Young is focused on refining his mechanics and expanding his passing repertoire. With his combination of athleticism, arm talent and academic excellence, Young is a player to watch in the NSAA Class B this fall. Scouts are particularly interested in seeing how Young handles pressure situations and makes decisions under duress.
