TeamFYNSports Writer’s Player of the Week – No. 11 Cayden Rich

When standout wide receiver Kyle Morlock went out a month ago with a severe right ankle injury, someone was going to have to step up in the receiving corps for the Union County Panthers.

This week against Social Circle, that player proved to be senior Cayden Rich.

Rich hauled in just two catches against the Redskins, but had nearly 100 yards receiving and a big touchdown in Union County’s 41-6 win.

Rich has been a steady producer all season, catching just 20 passes but scoring four touchdowns and providing senior quarterback Pierson Allison a safety valve when his main target, senior Sawyer Drake, is locked down.

Rich, who also plays linebacker on occasion, is this week’s TeamFYNSports Writer’s Player of the Week!
