Young traveled to Athens on an unofficial visit in late March. Prior to that, Kirby Smart visited Young at his Florida home shortly after winning the national title.
In his junior season with Lehigh High School, Young totaled 1,755 yards and averaged 9 yards per carry. His effort helped Lehigh go 3-0 in district play, and he lead the team to the second round of the Florida state 7A playoffs. Check out some of his highlights below.
