veteran trench grinder with a high-motor, impact-lineman profile
Justin Young’s profile points to a classic disruptive interior defender: 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, and long valued for strength, intensity, and run-and-pass versatility. Reliable recruiting and program pages show he arrived at Virginia Tech as a defensive tackle prospect and later earned praise elsewhere as an “impact defensive lineman” with an excellent motor and playmaking traits. For a team, the appeal is clear: he brings physicality, effort, and toughness more than flash, making him the kind of tackle who can hold the point and pop up in key moments.
