Young made his debut this past Thursday as the Stars hosted Young’s former team the South Sioux City Cardinals to open the season. Young is electric with the ball in his hands and is really hard to find behind a pretty good sized offensive line. Young carried the ball (14) times for (196) yards and two touchdowns.
Young really made it look easy and did rush for over (1,000) yards as just a sophomore last fall for the Cardinals. The intriguing aspect to Young’s game is that he is deaf and has a sign language translator on the sideline that is with him at all times. Even with his diminutive size, Young is a playmaker that is going to open some eyes in an offense that includes other nice weapons around him. Junior RB/WR Dayton Harrell Dayton Harrell 5'9" | 165 lbs | DB Sioux City North | 2024 State IA 5-9 (175) a college prospect in his own right rushed for (527) yards as a sophomore last year and had (17) receptions out of the backfield is impressed with his teammate. “He fit right in with the rest of us, he is a good teammate and we are glad he is on our team. He does some incredible things with the football in his hand.” said Harrell. Young is a legitimate college prospect regardless of size this kid runs very hard and can be a real problem in space to tackle.
This Friday night the Stars play host to an impressive (2-0) Sioux City East defense that has allowed only (28) rushing yards in two games led by criminally under recruited DT Cale Pittenger Cale Pittenger 6'1" | 260 lbs | DL Sioux City East | 2023 State IA 6-1 (255) and DE Nick Wells Nick Wells 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Sioux City East | 2023 State IA 6-3 (250) a South Dakota State commitment. I firmly believe that Pittenger (12.5) tackles and (5.0) tackles for loss is a Division I prospect. Recruiters, please take a look at the tape! Very rarely do you see a DT near the top of the team tackle chart. Kickoff at Olsen Stadium in Sioux City is set for 7 PM.
