MICHAEL YOUNG, JR.
Destrehan; Saint Rose, La.

Measurements: 5'11", 175 lbs.

Accolades: Consensus three-star recruit; No. 20 player in Louisiana, per rivals.com and 71st at position

Other Notable Offers: Texas A&M, Oregon, Virginia Tech

Projected Position: Wide receiver

Quick Take: Perhaps comparing Young to Torii Hunter is too easy, and not only because both enjoy the suffix of Jr. Young is known for good hands and quick moves, using his smaller stature against defenders rather than letting them take advantage of him. With quick hands, he has shown no trouble getting off the line.


JAFAR ARMSTRONG
Bishop Miege; Lee’s Summit, Mo.

Measurements: 6’1", 200 lbs.

Accolades: Rivals.com three-star recruit; No. 3 player in Missouri, per rivals.com; 77th at position

Other Offers Considered: Missouri, Minnesota

Projected Position: Wide receiver

Quick Take: Armstrong flipped to Notre Dame over the weekend, ending a commitment to Missouri. His large frame and strong hands should provide new receivers coach Del Alexander a solid foundation with which to work.
