Bowie State linebacker discovering his potential

BOWIE, Maryland  -- When Antoine Young was a senior at Suitland High School during the 2010 football season, Bowie State coach Damom Wilson took notice. So Wilson, who was in his first year at BSU at the time, made Young one of the key members of his first full recruiting class.

“I remember seeing that he had a very high motor, and he was an extremely tough player,” Wilson said during an interview following a spring practice scrimmage in April. “As a coach, that is something you look for in a player.”

Young, who was one of 13 players to sign with Bowie State in February 2011, admittedly entered college as a raw prospect, and after taking a redshirt season, he said he had no doubt he would develop into one of the Bulldogs’ better players.

“A lot of guys came in my class as potential guys,” said Young, who was a second team All-Gazette selection in 2010. “This spring really showed off our talent and the vision of coaching staff. We are part of Coach Wilson’s first real recruiting class, and our goal is to get things going.”
