Joe Young brings length and developmental upside to Southern Utah’s defensive line
At Southern Utah in the 2026 season, Joe Young is listed as a 6-foot-5, 240-pound freshman defensive lineman from Memphis, a profile that screams length, frame projection, and room to grow into a disruptive edge or interior presence.[1] The key question is ceiling: with no public stat line yet, his appeal is in traits more than production, so he looks like a fit for a staff that values raw tools, development, and aggressive line rotation. If you want an immediate, polished stat-sheet monster, not quite; if you want a twitchy, moldable DL with upside, this one’s worth a hard look.[1]
