Willie Young

Notes: Willie Young is a fast and fierce but undersized pass rusher. As a junior, he recorded 60 tackles including 15 tackles-for-loss and nine sacks. Young is a phenomenal athlete who will improve once he adds the necessary weight. Has tremendous potential.

Coach Tharp: "Willie is a great edge guy. He plays rush end for us. He has a great wing span and is very fast. He runs a legitamate 4.6 in the 40...he did it at the Nike Combine on grass. A few programs have mentioned him playing linebacker in college, but most figure he will fill out once he gets there and stay at defensive end.

"Willie is a great kid who loves to play the game."
