The basics
Young attended Lewisville High School as a freshman before enrolling at Faith Family Academy in Dallas, per The Daily Hoosier. 247Sports lists him at 6-foot-10 and 210 pounds, while The Daily Hoosier lists him at 6-foot-11. Listed as a C at Faith Family Academy, and he appears on the Texas board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
247Sports rates Young a five-star center and ranks him No. 11 nationally and No. 6 among centers, with a Composite ranking of No. 10 overall and No. 4 at the position. The Daily Hoosier described a big man whose game is built on efficient interior scoring and rebounding, and noted that three-point shooting is not yet part of his game.
Production
Young shot 61 percent from the field as a sophomore and was averaging 10.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks a game in travel ball, per The Daily Hoosier.
The recruitment
Indiana offered in the spring, joining a list that includes Maryland, TCU, Nebraska, SMU, Mississippi State, Arizona State, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Baylor, Missouri, and Texas Tech, per The Daily Hoosier. He remains uncommitted.

He remains uncommitted. The 2028 class built on centers is the house piece that sits next to this card. I would not overthink Young. 10.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and a Faith Family Academy winter are enough to hold No. 10 in 2028.
What to watch
Can Young keep expanding his offensive touch away from the rim as his recruitment accelerates? How much does his shot-blocking translate against older, stronger competition this season?
