over the weekend and the Rebel commitment bring a lot to the table. He is the unquestioned alpha of a loaded Lakeland (Fla.) team that beat Miami Central on the road on Friday night, thanks to a noted defensive performance. Young was playing corner and shadowing top 100 wide receiver Naeshaun Montgomery for most of the night, making several plays on the football in the process. Still see Young as a tone-setting safety down the line, but the competitive edge he plays with is part of his personality at corner. I was told he asked for that not-so-easy assignment, too, things you love to see in getting to know a player.

On the recruiting front, he says he is still "locked in" with Ole Miss although programs continue to push for his time. If there is one to keep an eye on it may be Colorado, as he says he could potentially take in a game out there down the line.
