Scottie Young, West Virginia, Player News

Scottie Young's role in the 2021 Mountaineer defense has changed from a nice piece to the puzzle to key driving force in the overall machine. A three-year starter at the University of Arizona, Young transferred to West Virginia in May of 2020 with the th ought that after sitting out the upcoming season, he would provide some badly-needed depth to a secondary that was facing significant graduation losses. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans? Those plans laid in the spring of 2020 have see n plenty of twists and turns ever since. Initially, it was expected that two of West Virginia's starting safeties, Sean Mahone and Alonzo Addae, both of whom were fifth-year seniors last season, would each need to be replaced.But then the NCAA dec lared that because of the uncertainties in dealing with COVID-19, the '20 season would not count against a student-athlete's eligibility clock. Mahone and Addae each decided to take advantage of the extra year and are returning to WVU this season for the ir sixth year in the college ranks. At that point, Young was viewed as someone to provide depth in the safety rotation, but then came another twist when the Mountaineers' starting spear safety Tykee Smith announced he was leaving via a transfer to Georgi a. Suddenly Young's role greatly expanded, and he spent this past spring working with the first-team defense at the spear, which is a hybrid position that requires the coverage skills of a cornerback and the tackling ability of a linebacker. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

With the annual Gold-Blue Game putting a cap on WVU spring practice a couple of weeks ago, football is again put on pause until workouts resume later in the summer and hit full gear with the start of the season looming on Sept. 4. Mountaineer fans are un doubtedly on edge, anxiously awaiting that day. But likely none of them are more geared up for the start of the season than one of the team's players. That would be senior transfer (for the second straight year) Scottie Young, who finished off his first spring in Morgantown after last year's spring practices were largely wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic.Young came over from Arizona as a graduate transfer prior to last season along with linebacker Tony Fields, who was selected by the Cleveland B rowns in the fifth round of the NFL draft over the weekend. Fields' 2020 season obviously went well, but Young's never got off the ground as he fought eligibility issues until finally making his first start in a 24-21 Liberty Bowl win over Army. To Young 's credit, he was able to keep things in perspective while looking on from the sidelines last season, but he's ready to make up for lost time this year. "I had an opportunity to watch guys like Tony, I spent my whole career with him, I watched him excel and have fun out there, it brought a smile to my face every Saturday to see my teammates having fun," Young said after the Gold-Blue game. "When they have fun, I have fun. I played three straight years and then I had to sit out, that was definitely fuel to the fire. I still got some more fuel, so I'm just ready to get this season going." - Charleston Gazette-Mail

Former Arizona Wildcats safety Scottie Young Jr. announced on Twitter and Instagram Saturday morning that he is transferring to West Virginia. Young, who entered the NCAA transfer portal last month, reunites with Jahmile Addae. Addae played under former Arizona head Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia and served as the UA's defensive backs coach from 2016-17. Young played his freshman season at Arizona under Addae before Rodriguez and his staff were fired in January 2018. In three seasons at Arizona, Young recorded 157 tackles, 12 pass breakups and five interceptions in 29 starts - 32 games overall. Young told The Athletic last month he had "gotten stagnant" in Tucson and wanted to take his career "to another level." - Arizona Star News

The Arizona Wildcats' dwindling safety corps has suffered another blow. Scottie Young Jr., who has started 29 games over the past three seasons, has decided to transfer. Young tweeted Thursday that he has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal. You ng is the fourth safety to transfer this offseason, joining Troy Young (no relation), Xavier Bell and Chacho Ulloa. Scottie Young's departure leaves Arizona with only four full-time scholarship safeties, and only two of them have any substantial experien ce. Young had an up-and-down career at Arizona. He started as a freshman in 2017 but was arrested that September in connection with a domestic-violence incident. Young was charged with misdemeanor assault. The charge eventually was dismissed by Pima Coun ty prosecutors after Young completed a diversion program.He didn't miss any game time because of the incident in '17 and finished the season with 53 tackles and an interception. He was suspended from team activities the following offseason under f irst-year coach Kevin Sumlin and had to sit out the '18 opener. Young notched career highs in passes defensed (six) and interceptions (three) that year but had a career-low 38 tackles. After his first full offseason in the strength and conditioning progr am, Young seemed poised for a breakout campaign last year. Although he finished with a career-high 66 tackles, he struggled at times, particularly in coverage. Young played better toward the end of the season, by which time three UA defensive assistants had been fired. - Arizona Republic

The Arizona Wildcats have named longtime Pac-12 assistant Greg Burns as their new defensive backs coach. Burns coached last season at USC, where he also was the secondary coach from 2002-05. The Trojans won the national championship in 2003 and '04. "We are obviously in a very unique time, and the importance of surrounding ourselves with men such as Greg is crucial in the development of our student-athletes on and off the field," UA coach Kevin Sumlin said in a news release. "He brings more than 20 year s of experience coaching in the secondary with a successful track record in recruiting and development. "His Pac-12 experience, professionalism and passion for the game will be a great addition to our staff. He is more than qualified to help lead our stu dent-athletes." Like the rest of the sports world, Arizona football is on hiatus until further notice because of the coronavirus pandemic. The team began spring football March 2 and completed four practices before taking last week off for spring break. D uring that time the NCAA and the Pac-12 shut down all sports indefinitely. Burns officially joined the program on March 9 and already has begun his responsibilities to the extent that he can. - Arizona Star News

Scottie Young Jr. changed numbers this offseason, from 19 to 6. The Arizona Wildcats junior considers it part of his "reincarnation." He's still a football-loving, hard-hitting safety with natural playmaking instincts. He's also a changed man, according to multiple UA coaches and players. "He's a much different player, a much different guy than he was when I first got here," Arizona coach Kevin Sumlin said. "Just how he handles himself, how he talks to the players, how he talks to everybody else. I've b een really pleased with his progress." After a head-turning training camp as a freshman in 2017 that put him on the fast track to a starting spot, Young got in trouble off the field. He did not immediately miss any game time because of it. But sometime a fter Sumlin became coach in January 2018, it was determined that Young would be suspended from all offseason team activities.He was reinstated about a week into last year's training camp but had to sit out the opener against BYU. Young could have elected to transfer. He could have complained about the punishment on social media. Instead, he looked inward, reflecting on his "trials and tribulations" and determining how he could learn from them. "I was upset - upset with myself," Young said. "I put that on myself. So I had to stay level-headed. I had to stay focused. I always knew that it was going to be a bigger purpose, and here we are today." - Arizona Star News
