'24 TX RB Kedren Young (Notre Dame Signee)

[Some Irish Bloke]

Thanks, Pfizer

it was actually Moderna

 

[NDFAN2008]

Reliable source:

Likely ACL/MCL, staff should have confirmation of severity today

Injuries are gonna happen good thing we have 6 capable backs, didn't Price have an injury more serious and came back just fine? At the end of the day it was gonna be hard to find meaningful snaps this year for Young? Not sure how much he would have played. Situations like this suck but not he can preserve a year and come back stronger next year.

Price was achilles

 

[NDFAN2008]

Price was achilles

Which is probally worse? I'd think so

1) Price did not come back fine, 2023 he had two more carries than Payne. Took him almost two years to get back.
2) Young already used a RS last year.

Thanks Landow. Gonna be another season of insane attrition most likely

Relax, bedwetter

Young played in 7 games last year unless playoff games don't count if that is the case he can medical, and still have 4 years.

Young played in 7 games last year

Only 4 regular season games though per ND: Kedren Young Purdue, Stanford, Navy, and SC. The other three were playoff games, which don't count against eligibility

I really thought with his size and the way he hit the hole at full speed he would have seen some short yardage Carries. Guy is the strongest looking guy in the backfield. We have depth like no other team at RB.

The Irish Illustrated podcast mentioned that he didn’t sound like he thought of himself having that skill set. The also said that he’s at best our third best short yardage back at the moment, which I agree with. And for all carries of great import, the ball should be in Love’s hands

i think you missed his snaps in the other games where he was a DT

To add, I feel like I remember one of the Irish Illustrated guys saying Kedren asked for his redshirt to be preserved last year after he played his 4th game

 

[Kingbish01]

So he's out for the year with a knee injury, has anyone heard what happened?

Edit...meaning contact or no contact.

It said out for year but 4-6 months wonder if he could come back for playoffs?

 

[ulukinatme]

I would say no since it's ACL. Even if he's healed in 4-6 months I think he's going to need time to get in shape, build strength and range of motion, etc.

Yeah I don’t think the coaches rush him, we got plenty of depth play Love and Price, get Williams and Payne involved get James his 4 games

 

[pumpdog20]

It sucks for anyone to have a year ending injury. With that said, the amount of attention with the ND media about the injury on Twitter, you wouldn't have guessed he was the probable 5th string running back.

 

[rtrn2glory]

He'll be lucky to be full go for spring ball. I would guess that's a no as well.

 

[SDIrishFan]

He'll be lucky to be full go for spring ball. I would guess that's a no as well.

That's what came to my mind.

The kid didn't have much hope at reps this year, but what REALLY sucks is, he isn't going to be around for spring to compete for RB1.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I mean ACL and MCL recoveries have come a lot faster recently it used to be a year I’ve seen guys playing after 6 months.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Why would you rush him back? Depth at the position doesn't require it. Plus it's not in the best interest of a young college kid to try to be back from a major injury in only 6 months. Best case scenario he's able to do light work in the spring and hopefully be ready for next fall camp. Unfortunate but that's IMO the track that should be taken

Doctorate in DT yeah

Never said rush him back

 

[rtrn2glory]

Good cuz it doesn't make any sense at all

 

[Plankton]

Doctorate in DT yeah

You mean Delirium Tremens?

 

[NorthDakota]

That's what came to my mind.

Ehhh it's RB. I'm guessing he'll have every opportunity to get snaps when he's good to go. Last year Love got about 10 carries a game.
Price got 7.5 carries a game.

That's even with Leonard getting 11 or 12 carries a game himself. I'm assuming next year that ND will be replacing at least Love...probably Price. Lots of carries to go around.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Driskell lol. Arguing with a fan on Twitter saying Kedren wasn’t 4th or 5th on the depth chart. I’m sorry but he wasn’t 1-3.
