The native Floridian had 24 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine attempts through three games in 2023. He had a very good spring and recorded a rushing touchdown on A-Day at Bryant-Denny Stadium, but Young has switched things up for the fall.
According to his Instagram, he has changed his number to No. 9.
Young wore No. 9 at Lehigh Senior High School in Lehigh Acres, Fla. He was one of the dominant players in the 2023 recruiting cycle as a five-star, owning the competition in his junior and senior seasons. Crimson Tide fans are excited to see what Young does in the fall.
