Alabama defensive end accepts invitation to Reese’s Senior Bowl

Alabama football has its second senior to accept an invitation for the Reese’s Senior Bowl.

Byron Young, a defensive end, joins Emil Ekiyor to showcase his talent for pro scouts.

Young, a native Mississippian, arrived in Alabama’s 2019 recruiting class as a four-star. He’s produced every year, especially in the last two seasons. Young led all defensive linemen for the Crimson Tide in tackles (46) and had 5.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, six quarterback hurries, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble. His best performance came at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in his return to Mississippi to battle Ole Miss.
