Young's strong finish (8th EPA Week 11+) and improved confidence support Tier 3 projection.
Young made a significant jump in 2026 Tiers voting, with coaches praising his improved command, confidence, accuracy, and movement. Despite ranking 28th in EPA per pass play for the full season, Young ranked eighth from Week 11 forward—the second consecutive season he finished stronger than he started. Coaches and executives highlighted his exceptional anticipation, vision down the field, ability to throw with anticipation, and better-than-credited athleticism. One offensive coach rated him as a Tier 3 prospect with potential to play at that level consistently, noting his ability to put athletes in position to succeed despite not necessarily elevating them.
