Perry Young could very well be the best linebacker on the roster for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Unfortunately for him and the team at large, he wasn’t able to play all of last season as an injury limited him to eight games. Despite that, he still made it onto the all-American Athletic Conference first team. If he was able to do that with a limited schedule, expectations are that he will be even more exceptional at full health during his senior campaign.
Before we get to the 2019 season, however, its time to look at what exactly Young does that makes him such an important contributor for the Bearcats’ defense.
