Keon Young

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-0, 190 lbs. Taller than 32% and heavier than 58% of 2025 Safety prospects in the SEC Scouts database (139 with a listed size).

Play Style

Without extensive film evaluation available, Young's recruiting profile suggests a safety with enough versatility to fit Ole Miss's defensive scheme. His Florida background typically indicates familiarity with both run support and coverage responsibilities expected of modern safeties.

Strengths

• Strong enough evaluation metrics to earn 4-star status from 247Sports despite limited exposure
• Florida pedigree suggests he's been coached against elite competition in one of the nation's top prep football states
• Early commitment to Ole Miss indicates strong evaluation from SEC-level coaching staff who saw his potential

Areas to Improve

• Limited recruiting profile suggests need for more consistent production or exposure at camp circuits
• Lack of multiple Power 5 offers indicates potential inconsistency in evaluation or areas needing development

College Projection

Projects as a developmental prospect who could compete for playing time by his sophomore or junior season. His 4-star rating suggests legitimate SEC ability, but may need time to adjust to the speed and complexity of Power 5 football.

NFL Outlook

Limited recruiting exposure makes NFL projection premature, though his 4-star rating keeps professional potential in play with proper development at Ole Miss

Best Fit

SEC programs like Ole Miss that can develop defensive backs with patient coaching and gradually increase responsibilities. Would thrive in systems that utilize versatile safeties in both coverage and run support roles.
