As he read off the statistics from the first scrimmage of camp, Mark Richt was bemused.
“Malek Young -- two tackles and an interception,” the Hurricanes coach said with a smile and a slight shake of his head. “He seems to have an interception every time we scrimmage.”
To an offensive coach whose biggest challenge right now is finding a starting quarterback, interceptions might be a bit of a sore subject. To the defensive coaches working to get Young ready to be a potential starter this season, the sophomore’s performance in camp and progress over the last year is exactly what they’ve needed to see from the former Coconut Creek High standout.
