Arizona Wildcats safety Scottie Young Jr. makes Pro Football Focus’ All-Freshman Team in Week 2

Only a handful of freshmen were better than Arizona Wildcats safety Scottie Young Jr. in Week 2.

Young made Pro Football Focus’ Week 2 All-Freshman team, checking in with a 82.4 grade, the 10th-best among freshmen on defense.

PFF grades players by watching their every play in a particular game and grading it on a scale of -2 to +2.

Young had seven tackles, including a tackle for loss, in Arizona’s 19-16 loss to the Houston Cougars.

The former three-star recruit won the starting free safety job after a strong fall camp and evidently is making good use of it.
