compact, rising LIU DB with freshman-to-sophomore size gains
Brycen Young is a Long Island University defensive back from Bronx, NY who entered the 2025 season as a freshman and is listed as a sophomore in 2026 at 6'0" and 158 pounds. LIU’s roster shows no career statistics yet, so the current read is more projection than production: he looks like a developmental DB with added length, a lean frame, and room to grow into coverage roles. If your team wants a young, moldable defensive back rather than a finished product, he’s the type worth monitoring.
