Isheem Young brings veteran, downhill edge to Memphis secondary
Isheem Young is a redshirt senior DB for Memphis who brings a compact, physical, box-safety style and proven Power Five experience after stops at Iowa State, Ole Miss and North Texas. His calling card is toughness: he’s known as a downhill run defender with ball skills, and his career production before Memphis included 186 total tackles, 8 pass breakups, 4 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles through 2023. The big flag is availability—he missed 2024 with injury, and Memphis lists no 2025 stats for him—so he looks like a high-energy fit if your team wants an aggressive, versatile defender, but durability is part of the evaluation.
