Carl'veon Young’s stock is rising as OSU shifts him into a more disruptive role
In the 2025 season, Carl'veon Young played sparingly as a redshirt freshman at Oklahoma State, appearing in the final four games and recording 1 tackle, but the bigger story is his upside: a 6-foot-4, 215-pound former four-star recruit with rare length, athleticism, and a high school résumé built on 250+ tackles, nearly 20 tackles for loss, double-digit sacks, and 7 interceptions. Oklahoma State has now moved him from linebacker to defensive end in 2026, a strong clue the staff wants to unlock his burst and flexibility off the edge.
