CALDWELL, Idaho – After turning in one of the most prolific performances in program history, Caden Young of The College of Idaho has been named the Frontier Conference Offensive Player the Week as well as PrestoSports NAIA Football Offensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Monday.

The senior quarterback from Emmett earned the honor following a dominant outing in the second-ranked Yotes' 49-41 victory over No. 12 Carroll College on Saturday. The win secured a second consecutive Frontier Conference West Division title and clinched an automatic berth in the NAIA Football Championship Series.

Young delivered a performance for the record books,rushing for a career-high 292 yards and two touchdowns on just 19 carries while averaging 15.4 yards per attempt.

The senior also shined through the air, completing 14-of-21 passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. In all, Young accounted for 447 yards of total offense and five touchdowns against the nationally ranked Saints.

Among the highlights were touchdown runs of 52 and 73 yards, along with touchdown passes to Tanner Sittser, who hauled in two scoring receptions in the victory.

Now 9-0 on the season, the Yotes will close out the regular season Saturday when they travel to face Southern Oregon University. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. PT in Ashland, Ore.
