Falcons' Kicker Cade Young Bounces Back from ACL Injury
Skyridge Falcons kicker Cade Young connected on 85 percent of his field goals as a junior, including a 48-yard game-winner against 5A opponent Riverton. Young's impressive performance earned him a starting role heading into his senior season. However, his progress was halted when he suffered an ACL injury during the off-season. After a long rehabilitation process, Young is back on the field, and coaches are optimistic about his chances of reclaiming his starting spot. Young's rehabilitation included intense leg strengthening exercises and a focus on rebuilding his kicking technique. As the Falcons prepare for their 6A schedule, Young's ability to regain his form will be crucial. Scouts are watching to see how Young adapts to game speed and whether he can maintain his accuracy under pressure. With the Falcons looking to make a deep run in the state playoffs, Young's comeback story will be one to watch this season.
