Bio

Young was one of the most well-rounded student-athletes during the NCAA era in CACC history, as his list of accomplishments feature numerous athletic and academic honors. He is the program's all-time leader with 1,958 points, while also ranking in the top five in rebounds, assists and steals. He dropped in a school-record 39 points in a victory in the CACC semis in 2010, as Young and the Golden Falcons went on to capture the conference championship, and lock up the program's first trip to the NCAA Tournament. Young was named the MVP of the tournament, while also earning all-conference accolades that season as well. Young was a three-time All-CACC honoree, including first-team status in the 2010-11 campaign. He was the 2007-08 CACC Rookie of the Year, and was placed on the All-Met Writers Team each of his four seasons (first-team accolades twice). Young was the 2010-11 CACC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and was named a CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-American that season as well. He was named to the CACC All-Academic Team three times, while also receiving the Arthur Ashe Award as many times. Young was selected to the 2011 NABC Honors Court for his academic commitment.
