Scouting Notes
Young (R-So) transfer LB with one solid season of FBS production — 65 tackles (26 solo) with 7 starts as a redshirt freshman at Washington State in 2025, including a 13-tackle career high. Projects as a starting-caliber/rotational ACC linebacker and immediate-need add for BC's thin LB corps, but a single productive season with modest splash (0.5 sack, 0.5 TFL), 3-star/FCS roots, and zero draft buzz keeps him in the developmental yellow tier.
