In the past month, he's picked up offers from Florida and Auburn, and today, he was upgraded from a three-star prospect to a four-star prospect on Rivals. The Lexington native is now considered the 149th overall player in his class by Rivals, and has a four-star ranking from each of the major recruiting services. The #149 ranking is the third highest for a UK commit under Mark Stoops behind Boom Williams (#118) and Drew Barker (#132). Drake Jackson, the cornerstone of the 2016 class, also got a boost in the rankings, moving from unranked to #244. He was already considered a four-star. At 6'7", 270 lbs., Young ain't small, as you can tell from this picture from Memorial Day weekend: [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="599"] @Landon_Young_67[/caption]
