“God put together that guy,” Meyer said told NBC Sports in Washington. “He said, ‘I’m going to make one of the best defensive ends to ever play college football.’ I think he’s going to carry on in the NFL. He’s got it all.”
Young had an incredible final season at Ohio State, tallying 16.5 sacks, forcing six fumbles and blocking a kick in 12 games. He was named the B1G Defensive Player of the Year, was a consensus All-American and received the invitation to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist.
