08/22/22 - OLB Craig Young, rSr/2024, Kansas

Former Ohio State safety Craig Young "fits in really well" as Kansas' hawk linebacker, a position that incorporates the principles of a strongside linebacker and strong safety, linebackers coach Chris Simpson said. Young played in 26 games at Ohio State over three seasons, primarily as a safety, before choosing to transfer to Kansas in December. He said he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds upon enrolling at Ohio State in 2019, and Simpson sees that speed as one of Young's greatest attributes. "Craig can run," Simpson said. "He's one of our faster guys. He's got tremendous length, so even what there is that he may lack, he can make up for in other areas, and length is one of those things. "Being a big, tall guy, we're putting a lot on him and he's killing it, OK? We're putting a lot on him in terms of what he needs to know and he's embracing it and even going above and beyond to make sure that he's really locked in with whatever he's doing. He's doing a tremendous job for us."

Young, who was recruited to Ohio State to play wide receiver before moving to defense, said playing hawk linebacker isn't all too different from the responsibilities he had in the secondary over the last three seasons. "I'm covering similar guys," Young said. "I'm still covering receivers. The only thing that's different is that I'm playing more in the box now here. I'm in the box now and taking on offensive linemen and fitting gaps and everything. That's pretty much different from playing safety and moving back here to hawk." - Lawrence Journal World
