Experienced Troy QB with pro-ready frame and coaching DNA
Kade Young is a senior quarterback at Troy in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-3, 173 pounds, with a background that includes playing under Troy’s offensive-minded staffs and later moving into quarterback coaching. His differentiator is feel and football IQ: he’s been around high-level QB rooms, which usually shows up in decision-making, poise, and command of an offense more than flashy stat-chasing. The fit question is simple — if a team wants a cerebral, developmental QB presence with leadership chops and a coach-on-the-field vibe, Young is worth the look.
