Davon Young brings SEC-ready size and power to Mississippi State’s defensive front
Davon Young is a 6-foot-3, 305-pound freshman defensive lineman whose profile points to a strong interior presence: EA Sports rates him 84 in strength, 88 in impact blocking, 80 in hit power, and 75 in block shedding, which lines up with a blue-collar, physical run-stuffer rather than a flashy stat-sheet chaser.[1][2][8] He committed to Mississippi State on June 22, 2025, choosing the Bulldogs over Troy and South Alabama, and his fit is straightforward: he looks built to absorb blocks, anchor gaps, and bring toughness to the trenches.[4][8]
