veteran Elon linebacker with a proven tackler’s résumé
TJ Young is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker for Elon whose profile is built more on production than hype: he logged 121 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 12 quarterback hurries, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a safety in high school, then added 6 tackles across seven games in the 2024 season for the Phoenix. He fits the mold of a steady, physical linebacker who flashes disruption, plays with an edge, and brings special-teams value while continuing to carve out a bigger role. If your team wants a tough, reliable defender with upside, he’s worth a look.
