  Like many others on his team and around the country, Christian Young opted out of the 2020 football season. The veteran Arizona defender had injured his ankle during training camp. He appeared in the season opener, but the ankle wasn't getting any better. So Young went home to Houston to focus on his schoolwork and rehab his injury. "I watched the rest of the games with my Pops," Young said Saturday after the Wildcats' first full scrimmage of spring. "It was hard not being on the sideline. I was cheering my team from the couch." The time away made Young appreciate "just how much I missed football. It's just an itch. I love football...It made me realize I need to be here."

Young knew Arizona would be changing coaches after an 0-5 season capped by a 70-7 loss to rival Arizona State. He resolved to give the new staff a chance. Thus far, it has turned out to be a perfect pairing. Don Brown's defense features a position called the "Viper" that's essentially a cross between a safety and a linebacker. It's ideally suited to Young's skill set. "We just really liked his athleticism," said Keith Dudzinski, who coaches the Vipers and "Sam" linebackers. "The thing we didn't know is how physical he would be up at the line of scrimmage. He's shown he's definitely physical. He's covered tight ends. He's made a lot of plays in spring. So I'm real happy with what he's done so far." - Arizona Star News
