Teja Young brings veteran ball-hawking upside to Ole Miss
Teja Young is a seasoned safety with real playmaking juice: in the 2022 season at FAU, he finished with 48 tackles and 2 interceptions, and across his career he’s piled up 7 picks, 15 pass breakups, and 4 interception-return touchdowns, a rare “flip the field” profile for a defensive back[6][8]. At Ole Miss, he’s valued for experience, familiarity with the scheme, and a confidence that shows up in big moments, making him a fit if you want a smart, proven back-end defender who can create momentum with one swing of the hips and one stolen pass[4][8].
