Rutgers is preparing to play its first NCAA Tournament game in 30 years, and they would not be here without Jacob Young.
The Scarlet Knights have a core that should be entering their second-straight tournament appearance if it were not for a national pandemic. Everyone played apart in a 15-11 season that included 10 wins in the Big Ten.
Geo Baker is the leader, Myles Johnson is the enforcer, and on both ends of the floor — Young is the heart and soul. The leadership and experience of Young will play a huge part in Rutgers’ first-round matchup against Clemson.
