This is a massive recruiting win for Georgia Tech to go into Louisiana and get a prospect of this caliber. Young is a borderline four-star player on the 247Sports Composite and the No. 9 player in the state of Louisiana. Young took an official visit to Georgia Tech this summer and is now in their 2024 class. 

Young's other offers include Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, Florida State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. That is a powerful list of schools to be competing against and landing a player over those schools is huge for Georgia Tech.

A lot of credit should go to special teams coach Ricky Brumfield for this commitment. Brumfield has been recruiting the area of Louisiana hard and for him to go get a player like this is huge. Wide receivers coach Josh Crawford was instrumental here as well.
