Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Young is a developing two-way athlete at defensive back and wide receiver who continues to take clear steps forward this offseason. His commitment shows through consistent work in 7-on-7 competition and training sessions with position coaches, and that added experience is starting to translate to on-field improvement.
At defensive back, he’s becoming more confident in coverage. He’s showing better patience in his backpedal, improved recognition of routes developing in front of him, and quicker reactions when breaking on the football. There’s still growth needed in consistency, but the progress is noticeable.
At wide receiver, Young is starting to look more natural running routes and finding ways to separate in space. He’s becoming more comfortable tracking the ball and competing at the catch point, especially in competitive 7-on-7 settings where timing and spacing are key.
The biggest takeaway is his growth mindset between offseason training and repeated reps in 7-on-7, Young is steadily refining both sides of his game.
