Perry Young is one of a number of Cincinnati Bearcats to undergo a positional change from when he first came to the program to today. Originally a defensive back, Young transitioned to linebacker and was one of the best the Bearcats had to offer in 2017. With 101 tackles, Young teamed with Jaylyin Minor to become the first Bearcats teammates since 2014 to both have 100 stops. When that last happened, Jeff Luc (133), Zach Edwards (121) and Nick Temple (113) all came together to reach the 100-tackle summit.
