Joe Young brings size and big-play efficiency to Harvard’s receiving room
In the 2022 season, Harvard WR Joe Young played in eight games and posted 7 catches for 118 yards and 1 touchdown, averaging 16.9 yards per catch; ESPN also listed him with 10 receptions for 140 yards and a score, underscoring his downfield value. At 6-foot-3 and 208 pounds, he profiles as a physical boundary target with length, reliable vertical-ball ability, and enough explosiveness to flip field position. The key question isn’t talent — it’s volume: Young’s production has been situational, so he looks like a smart fit for a team needing a bigger, efficient receiver rather than a high-target centerpiece.
