2014 Albany (Ga.) linebacker Juwon Young is not only helping his team with workouts and running, but is also getting them mentally prepared for the upcoming season.
“I’ve been doing a more of a mental thing then a physical. I’ve been pushing them hard in the weight room so we can come together more as a team and we can go on the field as a team than just get on the field and play by ourselves.”
Young has set some expectations for himself next season and fully confident he can accomplish them.
“My goal is to at least have ten sacks with about 250 tackles with 2-5 picks and about ten forced fumbles.”
The 6’2 228 pound linebacker has been doing workouts and has a deep passion, so much to the point that he doesn’t sleep.
“Times like late at night, sometime I just wake up in the middle of the night and go to the sand dunes and I just run the sand dunes.”
Young committed to Miami during the summer and confirms that he is still fully committed to the Hurricanes.
“Yeah I would say it’s a hundred percent. I’ve been talking to them about every week or every other week. I mostly speak to linebacker coach Michael Barrow.”
The Albany product recently took the ACT and fell short of the score he wanted by 4 points, however he is really motivated and excited to hear that ‘Canes fans are pulling for him.
“Yeah, I’m taking it in October. It makes me feel like, now I used to work hard it makes me want to work even harder. Where I’m from we’re not used to a big crowd cheering for you, but I saw all the love on Facebook and I was just like ‘I’m good and I have a fan base.’.”
The Georgia native has also taken notice to the recruiting class Miami is working on and is excited.
“I don’t look at it too often, but I saw that we had the #1 recruiting class in the nation right now. I seen a couple of commits were there with me when I was at the camp. Mike Smith, I’m looking forward to playing with him.”
