Nicholls Colonels' Silent Assassin Forward with Elite Intensity
Michael Young, the Nicholls Colonels' forward nicknamed 'the Silent Assassin,' stands out not just for his 15.7 PPG and 6.9 RPG in the 2024-25 season, but for his relentless 300+ minute weekly intensity and unshakable quiet confidence that fuels team morale. Unlike typical stat-leaders, Young has no injury history, plays with a defensive-first mindset, and brings a veteran-level maturity despite being a rising junior. His differentiator is his ability to elevate teammates through consistent, high-pressure performance—making him a perfect fit for teams needing a reliable, low-maintenance forward who thrives in clutch moments and elevates the entire roster's intensity.
