Young, ranked as the #385 overall recruit by 247 Sports and the #20 player in Louisiana by Rivals, has likely been slightly overlooked due to his size. I forget all about his size when I watch him on the field.
Young performed very well for his high school. So well that he received over 20 offers including ND, Arizona, Texas A&M, Oregon, Kansas, Virginia Tech and Missouri.
Coach Denson was Young’s main recruiter and the two of them built a strong relationship. In-state programs started to show Young a lot of attention down the stretch but Young never wavered from his commitment.
