Skyler Young is a depth-chart name to watch in SEMO’s backfield
Skyler Young entered the 2024 season as a redshirt freshman running back for Southeast Missouri State, part of a deep rotation behind more established options. The useful takeaway: he’s still early in his college career, but he showed enough in limited 2023 action to get noticed—17 rushing yards on nine carries and one catch for five yards in the 2024 team preview. He looks like a development piece with room to grow, so he fits best for a program that values patience, special teams grit, and future upside over instant-box-score fireworks.
