PHILADELPHIA - Senior defensive back Tavon Young of the #24 Temple Owls has accepted an invitation to play in the Reese's Senior Bowl next month. He will join his teammates, Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner Tyler Matakevich and defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis in the game.
Young finished his senior campaign with 40 tackles, five for loss, with a sack and seven pass breakups. Last season, he led the conference with 153 interception yards off of a team-leading four picks. His leadership helped the Owls to a 10-3 record and the American Athletic Conference's East Division crown.
