  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 been 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 after 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
