St. Edward (Ohio) High School wide receiver Anthony Young joined IU's 2013 recruiting class Saturday evening, becoming the 11th player to commit to play for the Hoosiers next Fall.
A 6-foot, 170-pound dual-sport high school star from Lakewood, Ohio, Young is not only regarded as a football player but track athlete as well. Last spring as a junior, Young repeated as the Ohio state champion in the 200-meter dash.
According to Peegs.com, Young said that he plans on running track at IU, much like current wide receiver Nick Stoner. A kick returner in high school, Young said that he also expects to be returning kickoffs as a Hoosier.
Young was making his college decision between IU and Duke, however he had received multiple offers from Bowl Championship Series schools. Other colleges pursuing the speedy athlete included Cincinnati, Northwestern and Minnesota, as well as a variety of MAC programs.
Young is the second wide receiver to commit to IU in the 2013 recruiting class, joining Homestead (Ind.) High School's Isaac Griffith as the only other to do so.
