The Lafayette (Lexington, Ky.) senior is not only a big, powerful offensive lineman, but he's fast also. He's run a 4.80-second 40-yard dash.

He's ranked the No. 79 recruit overall from the Class of 2016 and No. 6 tackle in the nation by 247Sports.

He's also the top recruit of any position in the state of Kentucky.



If Young were to flip it would be a major story. He committed to the Wildcats when he was a freshman on June 14, 2013.

A look at his ultimate highlight tape shows great quickness for a player of his size.

He led Eric Shaw's squad to a 13-3 record in 2015 and a spot in the state 6A finals.
