Seahawks pick Mississippi State DT Cameron Young at No. 123 overall

With the No. 123 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks have selected Missisippi State defensive tackle Cameron Young.

Young comes in measuring at 6-foot-4, 304 pounds with 34.5″ arms and 10″ hands. He was one of the team’s official top-30 visits leading up to the draft. In 34 career college games, he totaled two sacks, nine tackles for a loss, four pass breakups and one interception.

Stopping the run is the name of the game with Young, who earned a 69.1 run defense grade from PFF in 2022.

Young should project as the team’s starting nose tackle up front in-between Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed.
