developmental DB with local roots, but little public 2026 production data
Rick Young enters Utah State as a 6-foot-1, 196-pound defensive back from Post Falls, Idaho, and was described as a two-time all-state prep standout who also contributed at running back and on track, which hints at athletic versatility and competitiveness. Publicly available 2026 stat/usage data is limited, so the big takeaway is projection: he looks like a physical, multi-sport athlete with upside rather than a proven stat-sheet star. If your team wants size, effort, and ceiling, he’s intriguing; if you need an immediate, heavily documented ballhawk, the evidence is thinner.
