SEC schools eyeing Destrehan's explosive WR Michael Young Jr.

If you don't know the name Michael Young Jr., the soon-to-be junior wideout is prepared to help you remember it with his work ethic and explosiveness.

The Destrehan wide receiver, the No. 34 on our Nifty 50 rankings, has quietly flown under the radar and picked up five scholarship offers since November -- with Louisiana Tech joining Arizona State, Louisiana-Monroe, Colorado State and Memphis as his offers. He's also receiving interest from Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Auburn.

"It was surreal," the 5-foot-11, 181-pound Young recalls of his first offer from Arizona State in late November last year.
