a tackling-machine linebacker with proven Nebraska pedigree
In the 2018 season, Dedrick Young II capped his Nebraska career with 83 tackles, finishing with 284 total tackles—fifth-most in school history—and becoming the first Husker to post four 60-tackle seasons.[1][4] His value was built on consistency, durability, and range rather than flash: he started 43 of 48 career games, repeatedly piled up tackles, and added pass breakups, an interception, and a forced fumble along the way.[4] If you want a reliable, assignment-sound linebacker who brings steady production and high football IQ, Young is exactly that kind of fit.[1][4]
