Personal Statement

I am Caden Young a scholar athlete from Columbia, South Carolina.  I am currently ranked #1 in South Carolina and #29 in the nation as a Class of 2029 dual threat Quarterback.  My primary position is Quarterback, but I can also play other positions.  I am also a  multi-sport athlete that runs track and swims competitively.

 

As a dual threat Quarterback I have a strong arm and can throw 50+ yards or I can use my speed to make sure it has a positive impact on that drive and gain yards or run out of the pocket and throw the ball. As a team player every time I step foot on the field I have a winners' mentality. I also have the mentality that whenever you touch the field whether it's practice or a game, make sure that you learn something. I would describe my personality as driven for success and I work 110% towards perfection.

 

I began to form my incredible work ethic at a young age, spending time outside school and on the weekends practicing in pursuit of the ultimate goal: to earn an academic and athletic scholarship to college and one day compete at the professional level.  My college goal is to purse a degree in Sports Management or Business Administration and to play football at the collegiate level.  My overall goal is to one day become a college football coach and to serve my community offering free QB training to young athletes.
