Justin Young was one of five Red team defenders to participate in a sack party last week at G-Day.
Young’s sack came in the second quarter with less than four minutes remaining in the half. With Georgia’s first-team offense, the Black team, in a hurry-up situation, Young was able to beat his blocker off the edge and tag quarterback Jacob Eason for one of five Red team sacks.
A season ago, Young served in a rotational role on Georgia’s defense and recorded six tackles, including one for loss. Head coach Kirby Smart said Young has displayed flashes of pass-rushing ability throughout the spring, which could give him added playing time in 2017.
