MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — From the time Jonn Young kicked a 50-yard field goal as a freshman, his mom became convinced he could earn a college scholarship.
Nowadays the Mocksville, N.C., prospect said he features 60-plus range, the kind of power leg West Virginia assistant Joe DeForest relishes. Ever since the Mountaineers extended a scholarship last fall, Young figured he was bound for Morgantown and this week’s verbal commitment sealed his outcome.
“I had a lot of looks from a lot of schools, but West Virginia was the one that felt right for me,” he told MetroNews “Sportsline” on Thursday night.
