Young was of course responsible for one of the greatest moments in college football history when he led the Texas Longhorns to a dramatic upset victory over Pete Carroll’s USC Trojans in the 2005 national title game.

Young was drafted #3 overall by the Tennessee Titans in the 2006 NFL Draft.
Although he never lived up the hype, Young led a respectable NFL career that saw him earn two Pro Bowl nods.
He was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2019 thanks to his legendary Longhorns career.
