Early lifeYoung was born in Ocala, Florida in 1960.[1] He attended Forest High School in Ocala,[2] and he was the quarterback for the Forest Wildcats high school football team.[3] Young led the Wildcats to back-to-back Florida state football championships in 1975 and 1976.[3] College careerYoung accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Doug Dickey and coach Charley Pell's Florida Gators football teams from 1978 to 1982.[4] The Gators coaching staff decided to red-shirt him as a true freshman in 1978, but he subsequently worked his way up the depth chart to briefly become the Gators' starting quarterback.[3] He subsequently changed positions to wide receiver and was paired with another converted quarterback, Cris Collinsworth, as the Gators' star flankers.[3] During Young's sophomore season in 1980, he was a member of the Gators team that posted the biggest one-year turnaround in the history of NCAA Division I football[5]—from 0–10–1 in 1979[6] to an 8–4 bowl team in 1980.[7] Memorably, Young caught ten passes for 183 yards against the Georgia Bulldogs in 1980, which remains the eighth best single-game performance by a Gators wide receiver[4][8] He also caught a fifty-one-yard touchdown reception against the Florida State Seminoles in 1981.[3] Young graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in 1988. Professional careerThe New Orleans Saints signed Young as an undrafted free agent in 1983,[9] and he played for the Saints in {{NFL Year|1983}} and {{NFL Year|1984}}.[10] He saw limited action in his rookie season, but had almost 600 yards receiving as a second-year pro.[10] In his two NFL seasons, Young played in thirty-two games and had thirty-six receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns.[1] DeathYoung died on October 15, 2015, in San Diego, California from multiple myeloma, which was first diagnosed in 2004.
