Nick Saban has raved about him since the spring, and now he will watch Young in action. After playing in nine games last year, the former five-star looks to become the fifth first-year starter to lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship.
Young will battle D’Eriq King of Miami on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
