Craig Young Brings Position Versatility, Elite Athleticism to Ohio State's Defense

Among all the members of the Buckeyes’ recruiting class of 2019, Craig Young’s eventual role at Ohio State might be the most difficult to pinpoint.

Young played everywhere from defensive end to cornerback during his career at Wayne High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and even worked out at three different positions – safety, linebacker and defensive end – at the Ohio State camp where he earned the scholarship offer he ultimately accepted.

Even now that Young is on campus and preparing for his first season with the Buckeyes, Ohio State’s coaches aren’t ready to commit to him playing a specific position.
